Yesterday, on late Halloween night, Google engineers delivered the best scare of the evening and released an urgent update for the Chrome browser to patch an actively exploited zero-day.
“Google is aware of reports that an exploit for CVE-2019-13720 exists in the wild,” Google engineers said in a blog post announcing the new v78.0.3904.87 release.
The actively-exploited zero-day was described as a use-aster-free bug in Chrome’s audio component.
Google credited Anton Ivanov and Alexey Kulaev, two malware researchers from Kaspersky, with reporting the issue.
