Google Issues Emergency Patch For Chrome Zero Day

[JAMES4578]

Google  has issued a patch for  a high Security Chrome flaw  CVE-2025-10585.  The vulnerability exists when engine misinterprets a block of memory as one type of object when it's actually something else and can lead to system crashes, arbitrary code execution, and when chained with other bugs, this could potentially create  a full system compromise via a malicious HTML page.

To address the vulnerability the Browser needs to be updated to to versions 140.0.7339.185/.186 for Windows and Apple macOS, and 140.0.7339.185 for Linux.  Chrome Browsers update automatically  but may not do so immediatedly  and will require an app update when they do.  This is actually the 6th Chrome Bug  exploited as Zero Day this year.

Enabling "advanced protection" in one ui 8 actually would have prevented that exploit even before it was known and fixed.

Preventative security helps. Specifically, advanced protection would have disabled the v8 optimiser within chrome. Meaning the code with the exploit would never trigger.

Auto Blocker on set to maximum restrictions. Advanced protection on. Really hardens the device against exploits

Im not sure if this affects Chromebooks. But there was an update on my chromebook. So I updated after seeing this. Hopefully safe and secure 👍
