Google Chrome Browser Vulnerable To Huge Zero-Day Security Exploit, Update Now

It appears to be an issue with memory management as it relates to a part of Chrome called FileReader, which allows developers to issues pop-up menus.  Chrome updates itself automatically, though if you leave your PC and browser running all the time, you may see a little green icon alerting you that a browser restart is required to apply the update. Or you might already be patched.  You can check for updates by clicking on the three vertical dots in the browser's upper-right corner and navigating to Help > About Google Chrome. As of this writing, the latest Stable build is 72.0.3636.121.

 

It also appears a system kernel exploit in Windows 7 is being used in conjunction with the Chrome exploit. Read the article here. Seriously a very dangerous coupling of exploits.
