It has been described as a heap buffer overflow in RTC but Google will release more information once most users have had a chance to update their browser.
But it also said that “an exploit for CVE-2022-2294 exists in the wild.” In a blog post Google said that a new update will include four security fixes.
Google has warned of a new Chrome hack targeting Windows and Android users, in the fourth attack so far this year. Thank you to the Gazette Union for the story and quote.Google Chrome will automatically be updated over the next few days after Google reveals the web browser was hacked. Hopefully, these tech giants can prevent this stuff from happening in the future by taking the necessary time to build a safe product. These companies are massive to have hacks as simple as installing a product on Chrome and being able to take over the entire functionality is maddening. This author tends to think that when Android and Apple develop their new phone models, way too much time goes into the screen, functions, and the aesthetics of the product. Google released the following statement regarding the hack:Ĭongratulations to Guang Gong, and thank you for ultimately making the Android and Chrome ecosystem safer and stronger. The hack has not yet made it to the public sector, which will allow Android and Google to figure out security measures from actual practice occurring. Gong installed an application which grants the hacker total control of the Android phone without the user being the wiser. The demonstration of the hack took place with a Nexus 6. And when something happens with Apple, a similar result happens with Android.ĭuring a hacking contest known as MobilePwn2Own, Guang Gong discovered a very simple exploit that grants the user total control of Android phones. Of course, that challenge was accepted and claimed within hours. Recently, Apple created a contest which gave anyone who could hack the new iPhone a monetary amount. Today, working around security parameters takes place in the wonderful world of computers, phones, tablets, and any other technology. In 1950, the expression would probably work more with old wooden drawers and safes. How does that old expression go? When one person builds something, there is always another who is working to destroy it? Regardless of how you view it, people are always working to hack, smash, and cheat their way around safety measures for their personal gain.
