I had already reported on an update to the Chrome browser in the article Google Chrome 118.0.5993.15 and 119.6045.199/.200 on November 29, 2023. The update fixed various vulnerabilities. These included the vulnerability CVE-2023-6345 , an integer overflow error in the Skia Graphics Engine, which was classified as "High". One reader already referred to a Microsoft note from Nov. 28, 2023 via a comment (thanks for that), which states "Microsoft is aware of the recent exploits existing in the wild. We are actively working on releasing a security patch." This patch is now available (thanks to the reader for the second hint).
Edge 119.0.2151.97 (Stable)
Microsoft has released Edge 119.0.2151.97 in the stable channel. The release notes state that the vulnerability CVE-2023-6345 has been fixed. The browser should be updated automatically.
Edge 118.0.2088.122 (Extended Stable)
At the same time, an update for the Extended Stable Channel to build 118.0.2088.122 was announced in the above release notes, which should also eliminate the above vulnerability.
