    Google rolls out emergency Chrome updates for CVE-2026-11645

    Mitigation Patch Update

    Google said an exploit for CVE-2026-11645 exists in the wild and released emergency Chrome Stable Desktop updates worldwide for Windows 149.0.7827.102, Mac 149.0.7827.103, and Linux 149.0.7827.102 after an anonymous security researcher reported the zero-day two weeks earlier. The flaw is an out-of-bounds read and write in the Chrome V8 JavaScript engine that remote attackers can trigger with crafted HTML pages to execute arbitrary code inside the browser sandbox, expose memory beyond the buffer, trigger a crash, and potentially bypass ASLR.
