Google has rolled out patches for a zero-day vulnerability in the popular web browser Chrome that’s being exploited in the wild. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2021-21166, was first reported by Alison Huffman of Microsoft Browser Vulnerability Research. The flaw exploits the audio component of the browser, but Google says the flaw stems from an object life cycle issue. Google’s Tuesday patch of Chrome includes 46 other vulnerability fixes; eight of those are considered high severity. Last year, Google removed 500 Chrome extensions from its online store after researchers found attackers using them to steal browser data.”]
