Overview
- Google released Chrome 150 desktop and mobile builds this week that close 27 security flaws, with the desktop Stable builds numbered 150.0.7871.114 and 150.0.7871.115.
- Two of the fixes address critical use-after-free bugs in the Ozone and Views components, which are memory-safety errors that can sometimes allow attackers to run code if chained with other flaws.
- Google says it found 24 of the 27 issues internally and reports no known active exploitation of the newly patched flaws.
- Only three vulnerabilities were reported by outside researchers, who received a combined $3,000 in bounty payments, underscoring a shift toward more internal discovery.
- Users should update Chrome now through Help → About Google Chrome or restart the browser to pick up the fixes, and Google plans further rapid releases such as Chrome 151 later this month as it continues a broad remediation push that has fixed over 1,400 bugs since April.
