“We would like to thank all security researchers that worked with us during the development cycle to prevent security bugs from ever reaching the stable channel,” said Prudhvikumar Bommana of Google Chrome.
The updates will roll out over the coming days/weeks.
“Access to bug details and links may be kept restricted until a majority of users are updated with a fix. We will also retain restrictions if the bug exists in a third party library that other projects similarly depend on, but haven’t yet fixed,” said Bommana.
