Just a few days ago, Google discovered a dangerous exploit in Chrome that has affected Windows, Mac, and Linux systems. Now, to address the second zero-day vulnerability exploited in attacks this year, Google has released another security update for the Chrome web browser. Google has detected 8 security issues in the Chrome browser and acknowledges active exploitation of the flaw, stating that "Google is aware that an exploit for CVE-2023-2136 exists in the wild."

As per the Google press release, access to bug details and links may be restricted until most users are updated with the fix. Restrictions may also remain in place if the bug exists in a third-party library that other projects depend on but have yet to address. An integer overflow vulnerability with a high severity rating, identified as CVE-2023-2136, has been detected in Skia. Skia is an open-source 2D graphics library written in C++, owned by Google, that offers Chrome a range of APIs for rendering graphics, text, shapes, images, and animations, BleepingComputer.com reported.
