Google and Mozilla on Tuesday announced fresh Chrome and Firefox security updates that address multiple critical- and high-severity vulnerabilities.

Resolved high-severity issues include six use-after-free defects, six privilege escalation vulnerabilities, two information disclosure bugs, one sandbox escape flaw, one site isolation issue, and one mitigation bypass weakness.
