Google has released a security update for Chrome's Stable and Extended Stable channels, introducing version 132.0.6834.110/111 for Windows and Mac users, while Linux users will receive version 132.0.6834.110.
The update, which will be rolled out over the coming days and weeks, addresses two high security vulnerabilities that could potentially compromise user safety.
- The first, tracked as CVE-2025-0611 (CVSS score 8.8), involves object corruption in Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine.
- The second notable vulnerability, CVE-2025-0612 (CVSS score 8.8), concerns out-of-bounds memory access in the V8 engine. This issue was discovered by Alan Goodman on December 20, 2024, and received an $8,000 bounty reward.
In addition to these vulnerabilities, Google's internal security team has implemented various fixes resulting from their ongoing security audits, fuzzing operations, and other security initiatives. Specific details remain restricted until the majority of users have updated their browsers.
The company maintains limited disclosure, keeping bug details and related links restricted until most users have received the security update.
Users are advised to update their Chrome and Chromium based browsers as soon as possible.
