Google has issued a security alert for Chrome users that includes a security fix. New update for browser, version 81.0.4044.113, designed for Windows, Mac and Linux.

The update comes with security enhancements and rewards, and the company has not yet shared any further details. In a note, Google noted - "Most users can restrict access to bug details and links until they are updated with a solution. If there is a bug in a third party library, we also perform restrictions.

The new update will launch in the next few days and Chrome users can check and update accordingly.

To check which version of Chrome you have, users need to click on the three columns in the upper right corner of the browser, and then navigate to About and After Help.

Google released the Chrome 81 version earlier this month and brought the Chrome tab groups feature. That feature allows users to club tabs at once. To do this, you need to right-click or double-tap on any tab, select 'Add to New Group', and then drag the tab to that group.

The last update gave users the option to customize the header (color point), group name, and merge the two groups or group tabs for ease of use.

A few days ago, Google was temporarily replaced by the Semisite cookie in Chrome because of the Kovid-19 lockdown, as most of the required sites are currently running.

"... In view of the exceptional global conditions caused by Kovid-19, we are temporarily withdrawing the implementation of semisite cookie labeling from today," Google said.

Google has issued a warning to 2 billion Chrome users

Google has fixed a critical security issue in Chrome, recommending that users update immediately

Google's search giant has issued a security alert for Chrome users and urged them to update to the latest version that addresses the issue.
Browser Update, Version 81.0.4044.113 - Posted on Windows, Mac and Linux, support pages for Google.

In a short update accompanying the security update, Google noted, "Most users can limit access to bug descriptions and links until they are updated with a solution. There is a bug in the third-party library, and we will support sanctions if they happen." Other projects are also based, but have not yet been determined. "

Under Chrome User Help, you can check your version by clicking on the three columns in the upper right corner of the browser before heading to the About section.

The update states that there is a security patch, which is considered important. There is a vague description, along with the attractive code name CVE-2020-6457: "Use in speech detector for free". The post makes no mention of robbery.

Meanwhile, Google pushed Chrome 81.0.4044.92 update, which includes patches for 32 vulnerabilities.

Additionally, earlier this month, Google temporarily withdrew changes to Chrome due to COVID-19, "... in view of the exceptional global conditions caused by Kovid-19, we have temporarily withdrawn the Semlite cookie implementation." "

Semisite cookie changes allow Chrome to enforce the default handling of third-party cookies in an ongoing effort to improve privacy and security on the web.

Raised by security expert Sophos, Google has quietly issued a warning that Chrome has a major security flaw in Windows, Mac and Linux, and urges users to upgrade to the latest version of the browser (81.0.4044.113). Interestingly, at the time of publication, the exact details of Google exploits are also a mystery.

In a blog post, all Google exposes the codename for exploitation (CVE-2020-6457) and has a vague description: "use it in a speech identifier for free". However, do some digging, and you will find that the exploitation of the US government's national vulnerability database is 'reserved'.

However, to shed some light on this, Sophos explained:

"[I] n In some cases, post-use-free bugs may allow an attacker to change the flow of control in your program, including redirecting the CPU to execute duplicate code that the attacker has only exited, which can in some way perform normal security checks of the browser or Affects the "Sure to You" dialogues Ivramaina type of exploitation, known as RCE terminology, it is the smallest of the implementation of the remote code, that is to say it - is that a rogue code on your computer remotely without warning, even though they can be implemented on the side of the world. "

If Sophos were right, Google would seriously consider this exploit to hide details from potential hackers before most Chrome users could develop and protect it.

Chrome 81.0.4044.113 is currently running for Windows, Mac and Linux. You can check your Chrome version by clicking on the three columns in the upper right corner of the browser, and then navigate to Help> About. As long as you run this version (or if you are reading this post at a later date) then you will be safe. If not, you should update immediately - Chrome will ask you to do it on the page.

And here's the upside: If your old Chrome version is outdated, you are not only vulnerable to a potential attack, but you may also miss out on the tab group that is Google's new tab company feature. So, in this case, protecting yourself is also a reverse task.
