Google has released updates for its popular Chrome browser to remediate several vulnerabilities, including a high-severity vulnerability that has already been exploited in the wild. This marks the fourth zero-day vulnerability that had to be patched in Chrome this year.

The vulnerability CVE-2022-2294 is a heap-based buffer overflow in the WebRTC component used by the browser. Successful exploitation can lead to remote code execution on the target.

The easy-to-use patch management capabilities in Acronis Cyber Platform (formerly Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud) keep all of your protected systems up-to-date by automatically retrieving selected patches and generating a backup before installing updates, in case rollback is necessary.
