Last week Google discovered a zero-day vulnerability in Chrome that the Google Threat Analysis Group determined was being actively exploited in the wild. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2019-5786, resides in the web browsing software and impacts all major operating systems, including Windows, Apple macOS and Linux.
Google quickly released a patch for Chrome browsers to address this, so the fix is relatively simple: update Google Chrome immediately to the latest version (72.0.3626.121 (Official Build)) of the web browsing application.
