I won’t lie, the fact that Google continues to roll out security updates to the world’s most popular web browser, with an estimated 3.8 billion users, on a weekly basis is something we should all be happy about. I am less happy, however, that week-after-week memory vulnerabilities in the Chromium code top the patched list both in terms of criticality and volume. Having just dropped an update with 13 use-after-free memory flaws confirmed, following one with 110 such issues, the latest Chrome patch fixes only 15 vulnerabilities in all, but 10 of them are memory-related problems. Obviously, you should ensure that your browser is updated, which Chrome does automatically, but have you ever wondered what the difference between use-after-free, heap buffer overflow and uninitialized use vulnerabilities is? I’m here to help explain what they are and why they are all so commonplace.
