Google Chrome Affected By Magellan 2.0 Flaws

Researchers have disclosed five recently-patched vulnerabilities in the Google Chrome browser that could be exploited by an attacker to remotely execute code. The vulnerabilities, dubbed Magellan 2.0 by the Tencent Blade team of researchers who discovered them, exist in the SQLite database management system. The flaw was reported to Google and SQLite on Nov. 16, 2019; on Dec. 11, 2019, Google released the official fixed Chrome version: 79.0.3945.79.79. If you are using a software that is using SQLite as component (without the latest patch), and it supports external queries, you may be affected.
