Google has rolled out a new Stable Channel Update for its Chrome browser, addressing critical security vulnerabilities that posed significant risks to users. 

The update, version 132.0.6834.110/111 for Windows and Mac and 132.0.6834.110 for Linux is being gradually deployed and is expected to reach all users in the coming weeks.

Security Vulnerabilities Patched

The update includes significant security fixes, two of which are rated as “High” severity. The vulnerabilities were identified in Chrome’s V8 JavaScript engine, a core component responsible for executing JavaScript code.

CVE-2025-0611: Object Corruption in V8

CVE-2025-0612: Out-of-Bounds Memory Access in V8

This issue arises from accessing memory locations outside the intended boundaries within the V8 engine. It could result in crashes or allow attackers to execute malicious code remotely. Alan Goodman reported this issue, and a $8,000 bounty was awarded.

The vulnerabilities patched in this release highlight the risks posed by memory-related issues in modern software.  Exploiting these flaws could enable attackers to execute arbitrary code, compromise user data, or cause system instability.

To Update 

To ensure protection against these vulnerabilities, users are strongly advised to update their Chrome browsers immediately. Follow these steps:

• Open Chrome and click on the three vertical dots in the top-right corner.
• Navigate to “Help” > “About Google Chrome.”
• The browser will automatically check for updates and install the latest version.

Hence, users should always keep their browsers updated to benefit from the latest protections against emerging threats. 

Organizations are also encouraged to implement browser isolation techniques and educate employees about avoiding untrusted websites.
