Google shipped Chrome 153 (153.0.8010.36/.37) for Windows, macOS, and Linux with 230 security fixes, including CVE-2026-87491, a medium-severity V8 out-of-bounds write being exploited in the wild. The release also fixes five critical vulnerabilities: four in WebGL (two use-after-frees, an out-of-bounds write, a buffer overflow) and one use-after-free in Cast. High-severity V8 use-after-free and type-confusion defects are among the fixes, and Google has restricted technical details until most users are patched. Administrators should verify deployed versions on managed endpoints, as Chrome-derived browsers may follow different patch schedules.
