Browser and image editing: Chrome and Gimp need rapid updates - high risk
Risky security gaps are exposed in Chrome and in the image editing software Gimp. Anyone who uses the browser or the graphics software should update urgently now. Here's how.
Google has patched several high-risk security vulnerabilities in the desktop version of Chrome, according to the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI). Similar vulnerabilities have also been fixed in the open-source image editing software Gimp. Users are advised to install the updates as soon as possible to prevent attackers from exploiting the weaknesses.
If left unpatched, these vulnerabilities could allow attackers to bypass security measures, execute malicious code, or cause system crashes by opening manipulated files or web pages. Secure versions of Chrome (151.0.7922.173 and 151.0.7922.174) and Gimp (3.2.4) are available for download and installation.
