18-Year-Old Security Flaw Discovered in Web Browsers
Introduction
A disturbing revelation has just shaken the world of cybersecurity: a critical flaw, present for 18 years, has been identified in major web browsers, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Apple Safari. This vulnerability potentially exposes millions of users to attacks exploiting the processing of requests to a specific IP address.
Details of the flaw
The flaw, described as “critical”, is based on the exploitation of requests sent to specific IP addresses.
