Posted on by

CVE-2024-7971, which also received a CVSS rating of 8.8 out of 10, was fixed by Google last week in the same release that also patched CVE-2024-7965. Both the flaws were fixed in Chrome version 128.0.6613.84/.85 for Windows/macOS systems and version 128.0.6613.84 Linux users.

The other eight vulnerabilities that make up the list of zero-days Google faced include CVE-2024-0519, CVE-2024-2887, CVE-2024-2886, CVE-2024-3159, CVE-2024-4671, CVE-2024-4761, CVE-2024-4947, and CVE-2024-5274. The fixes have been rolled out to all users since the release and Google Chrome will automatically update with the available patch.
