Google patches ‘dangerous’ Chrome flaw
By Asavin Wattanajantra,
The Google Chrome browser has been updated to fix a vulnerability, which could have resulted in a "severe" attack.
Google Chrome was updated to version 1.0.154.59, fixing an error that could have allowed cross-site scripting attacks without the user doing anything, under certain conditions.
This followed an IBM security advisory, which said that three separate issues in various parts of Google Chrome could make an attacker craft the "powerful" attacks.
Chrome users should receive the update automatically, but will also see an 'update' button in the browser.
Google Chrome received its last large major update back in March, while IT PRO blogger Davey Winder revealed how the browser survived the PWN2OWN hacking competition.
