Google fixes an actively exploited zero-day bug in Chrome

The vulnerability, documented as CVE-2021-21148 and rated high-risk, can cause a heap buffer overflow condition in Google Chrome for Mac, Windows, and Linux. Specifically, it affects the V8 JavaScript engine engineered by The Chromium Project for all web browsers under its umbrella. If abused, the loophole leads to memory corruption and allows a malicious actor to open a backdoor into the target’s system.
