Microsoft has just launched the latest iteration of its Edge browser, version 123.0.2420.97, as a significant step forward in making your browsing experience smoother and safer than ever.

That’s right; we’re talking about an update that prioritizes your online safety over flashy new features. Some important security fixes to address three high-severity vulnerabilities in the Chromium framework are included. Here you can find more details:
  • Chromium: CVE-2024-3515 (Use after free in Dawn): This one’s a bit technical, but basically, before version 123.0.6312.122, a use-after-free vulnerability in Dawn within Google Chrome could let a remote attacker trigger heap corruption through a maliciously crafted HTML page because of improper handling of freed memory in the Dawn component. (Chromium security severity: High)
  • Chromium: CVE-2024-3516 (Heap Buffer Overflow in ANGLE): Before version 123.0.6312.122, Heap Buffer Overflow in ANGLE within Google Chrome may allow a remote attacker to trigger heap corruption via a crafted HTML page by overflowing a memory buffer in the ANGLE component. (Chromium security severity: High)
  • Chromium: CVE-2024-3157 (Out-of-bounds memory access in Compositing): Prior to 123.0.6312.122, Out-of-bounds memory access within the Compositing component of Google Chrome could allow a remote attacker who had compromised the GPU process to execute a sandbox escape through particular UI gestures potentially. (Chromium security severity: High)
Therefore, Edge version 123.0.2420.97 offers more than just a faster, more seamless browsing experience - it also gives you a great deal of peace of mind because you can browse the internet with confidence, knowing that your activities are safer than ever.

To start enjoying these awesome new features, all you need to do is update your Edge browser to version 123.0.2420.97. It’s easy – just head to the Settings menu and click on About Microsoft Edge to get started.
