Google is urging Chrome users to update their browsers immediately after a zero-day exploit that could give hackers direct access to a user's OS has been found. The most recent version is 72.0.3626.121, and it's the version you want to be running to make sure you're safe from this exploit.
The vulnerability exploits a security flaw known as CVE-2019-5786. The security flaw is a memory management issue in Chrome's FileReader which gives hackers the opportunity to inject and execute malicious code.
Apparently this exploit allows remote code to be able to escape out of the (generally safe) Chrome sandbox. For it to be able to break out of the sandbox, that's not good.
As per the Google Chrome Release Blog post... CVE-2019-5786: Use-after-free in FileReader. Reported by Clement Lecigne of Google's Threat Analysis Group on 2019-02-27. Google is aware of reports that an exploit for CVE-2019-5786 exists in the wild.
