Threat Alert

As with the current Internet Explorer vulnerability, the Chrome browser vulnerability also results in a memory corruption.

As with the current Internet Explorer vulnerability, the Chrome browser vulnerability also results in a memory corruption. Attackers could exploit this by executing code on the device and, in the worst case, take full control of the computer. It is recommended to update the browser promptly via the Chrome menu. The vulnerability in Chrome affects Windows, macOS and Linux operating systems.

The vulnerability in Adobe’s ColdFusion middleware also gives attackers the ability to execute code and bypass credentials. An update is urgently needed here as well. The Adobe vulnerability affects all operating systems.

According to Heise Online, Google and Adobe do not currently provide any information about how exactly the attacks on Chrome and ColdFusion take place.
