Analysis
Google released Chrome updates addressing critical vulnerabilities in Shared Tab Groups (CVE-2026-84353) and WebGL (CVE-2026-84352), both rated critical as use-after-free flaws. The update also fixes nine high-severity issues including use-after-free in Proxy, Browser, and Dawn; an uninitialized resource in V8; and a GPU buffer overflow. Mozilla released Firefox 155 with 29 fixes covering use-after-free, sandbox escape, and memory corruption. The events reference Chrome versions 152.0.7977.75/.76 and 153.0.8010.47/.48, and Firefox ESR updates.
Why it matters: Critical use-after-free bugs in browser components that process web content are regularly chained into code execution via malicious pages. Shared Tab Groups and WebGL are high-traffic features, increasing exposure. Firefox fixes include sandbox escape, which lowers the barrier from code execution to full system compromise.
What to watch: Confirm Chrome and Firefox updates are deployed across endpoints. Watch for any disclosure of in-the-wild exploitation of CVE-2026-84352 or CVE-2026-84353, and verify that enterprise update policies do not delay the rollout.

Chrome now: Two critical vulnerabilities fixed
malware.news · 55d ago · August 19th, 2026
Chrome is rolling out an update for its desktop versions. The update includes 15 security fixes, two of which address critical buffer overflow vulnerabilities. The stable channel has been updated to 151.0.7922.169/.170 for Windows and Mac, and 151.0.7922.169 for Linux. How to update Chrome If you don’t want to wait for the rollout to reach you, manually updating is easy. The easiest option is to allow Chrome to update automatically. But you can end up lagging behind on updates if you never close your browser or if something goes wrong, such as an extension preventing the update. To update manually, click the More menu (three dots), then go to Settings > About Chrome . If an update is available, Chrome will start downloading it automatically. Restart Chrome to complete the update, and you’ll be protected against these vulnerabilities. Chrome 151.0.7922.170 is up to date You can find an explanation of the version numbering system and step-by-step instructions in our guide: How to update Chrome on every operating system . Technical details As mentioned earlier, the two vulnerabilities rated critical in this update are both buffer overflow flaws. A buffer overflow is a type of software vulnerability that e

Google Chrome Update Fixes 26 Security Flaws Including Two Critical Use-After-Free Bugs
cyberpress.org · 41d ago · September 2nd, 2026
Google has released a new Stable Channel update for Chrome desktop that patches 26 security vulnerabilities, including two critical-severity use-after-free flaws affecting Shared Tab Groups and WebGL. Users and enterprise administrators should apply the update promptly, particularly because the release addresses multiple memory-safety issues in browser components that process web content. Google Chrome Update Fixes 26 Security Flaws The most severe vulnerabilities are tracked as CVE-2026-84353 and CVE-2026-84352. CVE-2026-84353 is a critical use-after-free issue in Shared Tab Groups, while CVE-2026-84352 affects WebGL, Chrome’s interface for rendering interactive 2D and 3D graphics through the browser. Use-after-free vulnerabilities occur when software continues to access memory after it has been released. In browser attack chains, such memory-corruption bugs can potentially be leveraged to cause crashes, leak information, or execute attacker-controlled code, depending on exploitability and the effectiveness of Chrome’s layered mitigations. Eleven additional flaws received a high-severity rating. These include use-after-free bugs in Chrome’s Proxy, Browser, and Dawn components; an uninitialized resource issue in the V8 JavaScript engine ; and a GPU buffer overflow. Google also fixed authorization and input-validation flaws affecting FileSystem, the Omnibox

Chrome and Firefox Updates Patch Dozens of Vulnerabilities

The remaining 15 vulnerabilities are medium- and low-severity issues. Per Google’s advisory , only three of the flaws were reported by external researchers, but no bug bounty reward has been disclosed. The latest Chrome iteration is now rolling out as versions 152.0.7977.75/.76 for Windows and macOS, and as version 152.0.7977.75 for Linux. The flaws were addressed in Firefox’s GC, Navigation, Audio/Video, Security, WebGPU, Core & HTML, and Grid components, and in Firefox for Android. Three of the issued CVEs cover multiple bugs leading to memory corruption that could have been potentially exploited “with enough effort”. On Tuesday, Mozilla also announced the release of Firefox ESR 115.40, Firefox ESR 140.15, Firefox ESR 153.2, Thun

Chrome, Firefox Updates Patch 115 Vulnerabilities

The critical flaws include CVE-2026-91726, an out-of-bounds read in WebGL, and CVE-2026-91721 and CVE-2026-91749, use-after-free issues in Internals and Workers, respectively. Google also resolved multiple high-severity use-after-free, race condition, type confusion, integer overflow, incorrect authorization, and uninitialized resource weaknesses. Only two rewards totaling $2,500 were disclosed. Most of the addressed high-severity flaws are use-after-free and privilege escalation issues, but the browser update also resolves sandbox escape, site isolation, incorrect boundary condition, and mitigation bypass weaknesses. Unlike previous Mozilla advisories that collectively tracked memory safety issues identified internally under a single CVE, the fresh release mentions each individual bug, which explain
