Google patches third zero-day in Chrome this week#### Google has released a new Chrome emergency security update that addresses the third zero-day vulnerability in a week, CVE-2024–4947.

The high severity vulnerability is caused by a type injection vulnerability in the JavaScript V8 engine reported by Vasily Berdnikov and Boris Larin of Kaspersky Lab.

Although these vulnerabilities typically allow attackers to crash a browser, they can also be exploited to execute arbitrary code on target devices.

Google has fixed the vulnerability by releasing versions 125.0.6422.60/.61 for Mac/Windows and 125.0.6422.60 (Linux). This is the seventh zero-day fix for the Chrome web browser since the beginning of the year.
