Google started rolling out Chrome version 101 last week with dozens of important security fixes for Windows, Mac, and Linux devices.
Last Tuesday, April 26th, Google’s Prudhvikumar Bommanathat Chrome 101.0.4951.41 had begun rolling out to the stable channel for Windows, Mac, and Linux. The update addresses six bugs designated as high-level threats.
Unlike the zero-day bugs, there isn’t evidence that attackers were actively exploiting these bugs. Nevertheless, Chrome 101 does patch potential vulnerabilities, which is why updating is so important. In all, Google paid out over $80,000 to external researchers that uncovered the bugs patched in Chrome 101. One use-after-free vulnerability in Vulkan was worth over $10,000, with several other bugs resulting in payouts worth over $5,000.] High CVE-2022-1477: Use after free in Vulkan. Reported by SeongHwan Park on 2022-04-06] High CVE-2022-1478: Use after free in SwiftShader. Reported by SeongHwan Park on 2022-02-20] High CVE-2022-1479: Use after free in ANGLE.
Google says that Chrome version 101 is rolling out to users over the coming days and weeks. Don’t fret if you don’t see the update right away. Also, as notes, other browsers which use the Chromium engine are receiving updates as well. Brave and Microsoft Edge have each seeded updates to address the same bugs as Chrome 101.Chrome doesn’t always apply the latest updates when you open the browser, so if you want to check and see which version you are running, go to If you are already running the latest version of the browser, then you are good to go. If not, you should begin the process of updating as soon as possible.
