New Delhi: The tech giant has released security updates for the Chrome for Android browser to fix the Zero-Day vulnerability.
This marks the third Chrome Zero-Day discovered by the Google Threat Analysis Group (TAG) team in the past two weeks. The first two Zero-Days affected only Chrome for desktop versions.
"Chrome for Android version 86.0.4240.185 was released last night with fixes for the vulnerability dubbed as CVE-2020-16010," the report said on Wednesday.
While the three zero-days are all different from each other, Google did not clarify if all zero-days are exploited by the same hacking group.
Late last month, a team of Google security researchers revealed a zero-day vulnerability in the Microsoft Windows operating system that is under active exploitation.
According to Google Project Zero technical lead Ben Hawkes, the zero-day vulnerability is expected to be patched on November 10.
The zero-day bug in the Windows kernel can be exploited to elevate an attacker's code with additional permissions.
A Zero-Day (also known as 0-day) vulnerability is a computer-software vulnerability that is unknown to those who should be interested in mitigating the vulnerability (including the vendor of the target software)
