Whether you use a Mac or a PC, you probably browse the web with Chrome, or a Chromium-based browser. As it happens, Google's web browsing platform is the latest to receive an important security update—but it's far from the first important Chrome update of the year.
Use-after-free vulnerabilities happen when the system frees up a memory location, but a program tries to access it anyway. It's a glitch in programming, but it offers bad actors an opportunity to break into your system. At worst, it allows arbitrary code execution, or, in other words, gives hackers the ability to run their own code in the app or system.
What's more, this isn't Chrome's first active exploit of the year—this is its eighth. The company is playing catch-up with hackers looking to target users of its browser, which makes sense, seeing as Chrome is by far the world's most popular browser.
