If you are one of the millions of worldwide Chrome users, it’s time for yet another update. That’s right, a sixth zero-day exploit has been discovered in Chrome and, fortunately, the update was released shortly after.
If you’re uncertain as to what a zero-day vulnerability is, it’s simply a vulnerability that has been discovered but not yet patched.

The exploit in question is CVE-2023-6345 and does exist in the wild. According to Tenable, the official description of this vulnerability is, “Integer overflow in Skia in Google Chrome prior to 119.0.6045.199 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a malicious file. (Chromium security severity: High).”

The Chrome Stable channel has been updated to 119.0.6045 for both Linux and Mac and 119.0.6045.199/.200 for Windows. Although the update hasn’t been rolled out for every user, Google has confirmed it will happen over the coming days/weeks.
This update includes seven different security fixes (including for the zero-day exploit), which are:
- CVE-2023-6348: Type Confusion in Spellcheck
- CVE-2023-6347: Use after free in Mojo.
- CVE-2023-6346: Use after free in WebAudio.

- CVE-2023-6351: Use after free in libavif.
- CVE-2023-6345: Integer overflow in Skia.
It is the final vulnerability, listed above, that is the zero-day exploit. It’s interesting to know that this vulnerability is listed as High and not Critical. Even so, any bug listed as High should be considered a must-patch. Other than saying this vulnerability exists in the wild, Google has been a bit hush-hush about it.
