Google Chrome is a web browser used to access the internet.
In an advisory note issued on Wednesday, the PRAL said that the successful exploitation of the most severe of these vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the browser.
Depending on the privileges associated with the application, an attacker could view, change or delete data.
“If this application has been configured to have fewer user rights on the system, exploitation of the most severe of these vulnerabilities could have less impact than if it was configured with administrative rights,” the PRAL said.
