Global security firm Kaspersky has revealed that targeted attacks against a number of companies, which it noticed in April, initially used a vulnerability in Google's Chrome browser and then linked this to two zero-days in the Microsoft Windows 10 kernel.

Users of the Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge browsers have been told that they need not hold too many fears over a one-day vulnerability in the V8 JavaScript engine used by the two applications, but should still patch as and when patches were made available.

Microsoft has issued patches for four remotely-exploitable vulnerabilities in its Exchange Server product, a little more than a month after the company warned of four zero-day exploits being used to attack the application.
