New Zero Day Vulnerability Details – CVE-2019-13720 & CVE-2019-13721

Google have stated they are ‘aware of reports that an exploit for CVE-2019-13720 exists in the wild’ but so far have reported little else announcing ‘access to bug details and links may be kept restricted until a majority of users are updated with a fix.’ Which is fair enough.

Google hasn’t released official details on the exploit but in a nutshell memory corruption vulnerabilities were found in key components of the Chrome browser which could potentially lead to code execution on the user’s machine if a malicious page is visited.
