GOOGLE has rolled out the Chrome 151 stable channel update, patching a total of 370 security flaws that affect the desktop browser.
The update addresses seven critical‑severity use‑after‑free vulnerabilities, 71 high‑severity issues, 170 medium‑severity bugs and 122 low‑severity problems, as detailed in SecurityWeek’s coverage.
About thirty of the flaws reside in the ANGLE WebGL backend, while Google credited twenty‑one external researchers and paid $58,500 in bug bounties for this cycle, adding to more than 1,800 vulnerabilities resolved since the start of the year.
No active exploitation of any of the patched issues has been confirmed in the wild, and no threat actors have been linked to the flaws at this time, according to SecurityOnline.
Security teams should prioritize rolling out the Chrome 151 update across all managed endpoints, verify that the version reads 151.0.7922.71 or 151.0.7922.72, and ensure that auto‑update policies are enabled to prevent delays.
Administrators are also encouraged to review any custom policies that might block updates, monitor logs for unusual browser behaviour after the upgrade, and consider testing the update in a staging group before full deployment.
