"The first vulnerability, CVE-2026-4673, is a heap buffer overflow issue in WebAudio that earned the reporting researcher a $7,000 bug bounty reward. Google has yet to determine the bounty amount for CVE-2026-4677, another bug reported by the same researcher."
"The latest Chrome update resolves an out-of-bounds read bug in CSS (CVE-2026-4674), a heap buffer overflow defect in WebGL (CVE-2026-4675), and three use-after-free issues in Dawn, WebGPU, and FedCM."
"Users are advised to update their browsers as soon as possible, as Chrome vulnerabilities are often targeted in attacks. Google recently rolled out an emergency update to resolve two Chrome zero-days discovered internally."
