Google has issued a patch for the fifth zero-day flaw in its Chrome browser this year, preventing attackers from executing malicious code on users' devices.
The vulnerability, CVE-2024-4671, is present in versions of Chrome for Windows, the Mac and Linux and an exploit exists in the world.
Google said in an advisory that details of the bug would be kept hidden until a majority of users had applied the patch.
