UAE urges Chrome users to update browser for security fix

The UAE Cybersecurity Council has issued a warning to Google Chrome users, urging them to ensure their browsers are updated to the latest version to protect against potential security threats.

The advisory recommends installing the most recent security updates and sharing this information with related subsidiaries and partners to minimize risk.

Google recently released a Chrome update addressing a critical security vulnerability that could allow attackers to execute remote code or compromise sensitive user data. The stable channel version has been updated to 131.0.6778.139/.140 for Windows and Mac users, and 131.0.6778.139 for Linux users. The update will gradually roll out in the coming days and weeks.

Google has stated that details of the vulnerability and related links will remain restricted until a significant number of users have implemented the fix. Additional restrictions may also apply if the issue involves third-party libraries used by other projects yet to address the flaw.
