a Vulnerability in Windows to have violated the popular browsers and has jeopardized the security of the system. This was reported by researcher of the problems of security Project Zero by Google’s James Forshaw (James Forshaw) on its website.
the Expert noted that the problem appeared in the Windows kernel 10 in the may update 2019. From the system was removed one line of code, which in popular browsers, particularly Google Chrome has stopped working “sandbox”. The defender explained that “sandbox” is required to create a safe environment, as through it pass all the processes in the program.
“Sandbox Chromium is one of the best, even though something good has flaws. The change in its behavior does not depend on the Chromium developers,” said the Defender, removing thus the responsibility for the non-working elements of the browser with its creators. Specialist asked Microsoft to patch the affected browsers, which besides Google Chrome, he also took the Edge and Mozilla Firefox.
the Expert concluded that the actual disabling the sandbox can contribute to hacking the operating system. “I think someone saw the code and thought that it was written by mistake. And decided to “correct” her,” said James Forshaw.
In late April, Windows 10 users complained that the update KB4549951 deleted their files. In addition, system update broke the stable operation of the PC, in some cases reducing the performance of computers and speed of Internet connections, turned off Bluetooth and led to the emergence of a “blue screen of death” (BSOD).
