Multiple Security Flaws Found in Google Chrome
HKCERT has flagged several newly identified security issues in Google Chrome that open the door to remote attacks. The flaws may allow denial of service, security bypass and exposure of sensitive information on affected systems.
Key points
- HKCERT reports multiple vulnerabilities affecting Google Chrome.
- Remote attackers could exploit the flaws to trigger denial-of-service, bypass security controls or obtain sensitive data.
- Users and administrators should treat the issues as security-relevant and prepare to apply browser updates promptly.
In a new advisory that follows a steady stream of browser security updates in recent years, HKCERT has disclosed that multiple security vulnerabilities have been identified in Google Chrome. The notice highlights that these issues affect the browser in a way that could be used in remote attacks.
According to the summary, the flaws could let an attacker operating over the internet carry out actions on a target system without local access. By exploiting the vulnerabilities, a remote attacker may be able to trigger a denial-of-service condition in Chrome, interrupting normal operation of the browser on the victim's device.
The advisory further notes that the same group of vulnerabilities may let attackers bypass existing security restrictions. That means some of Chrome's protective mechanisms could be sidestepped if the flaws are successfully exploited, increasing the risk that other malicious activity might follow.
