Time to patch: Chrome 120 fixes a 0-day security issue

Google released an update for its Chrome web browser a moment ago that fixes four security issues in all desktop versions and in Chrome for Android. One of the patched security issues is exploited in the wild.

Chrome users on desktop systems may update Chrome to the new version already. This is done automatically by Chrome, but some users may want to update the browser immediately to protect it against the 0-day vulnerability that is targeted in the wild.

Load chrome://settings/help in the browser's address bar or select Menu > Help > About Google Chrome to open the same page. Google Chrome runs a check for updates and will download and install the security update at this point. A restart of the web browser is required to complete the installation of the update.

The Help page should list one of the following Chrome versions after instalation:

• Chrome for Mac: 120.0.6099.234
  
• Chrome for Linux: 120.0.6099.224
  
• Chrome for Windows: 120.0.6099.224 or 120.0.6099.225
  
• Chrome Extended Stable Channel for Mac: 120.0.6099.234
  
• Chrome Extended Stable Channel for Windows: 120.0.6099.225
