Chrome versions prior to 99.0.4844.74 affects Windows, Mac, and Linux. Vendor has released fixes for ten vulnerabilities that allow an attacker to gain control of a vulnerable system.

Nine of the ten Chrome vulnerabilities are impacted by Use-After-Free (UAF) flaw. This is a vulnerability related to incorrect use of dynamic memory during program operation. Successful exploitation of this issue may lead to data corruption, program crash or arbitrary code execution. In recent browser versions several controls have been introduced that make exploitation of these Use-After-Free vulnerabilities much harder but despite this, they still seem to persist.

This update fixed 10 security vulnerabilities which have been mentioned in the table below. We recommend organizations to update to Chrome 99.0.4844.74 for Windows, Mac and Linux to avoid exploitation and mitigate any potential threats.
