Google Issues Emergency Security Warning For 3.2 Billion Chrome
Users-Attacks Underway.

Google has issued an emergency security update for all Chrome users as it
confirms that attackers are already exploiting a high severity zero-day
vulnerability.

The emergency update to version 99.0.4844.84 of Chrome is highly unusual in
that it addresses just a single security vulnerability. A fact that only
goes to emphasize how serious this one is.

In a Chrome stable channel update announcement, published March 25, Google
confirms it "is aware that an exploit for CVE-2022-1096 exists in the wild."

Note that, as the ("Update March 28:" of the) article says, this is a
*Chromium* issue and other Chromium-based browser such as *Edge*, Brave,
Vivaldi, etc. are also affected. The article mentions which Edge version
is the first fixed version.
