Google Chrome is one of the best and well-known computer web browsers on the internet. Most of the Windows, Mac, Android and iOS device users have been using Google Chrome for a very long time because of its safety, smooth performance, and stability.
Earlier today, Mac video professionals began reporting that their computers were crashing, and many attributed the problem to Avid’s Media Composer editor. The issue instead lies with a piece of Google software that helps keep Chrome up-to-date.
Check Chrome’s Update Check Interval. Google Chrome has a set interval at which it checks for any. Google Chrome is a Web browser by Google, created to be a modern platform for Web pages and applications. It utilizes very fast loading of Web pages and has a V8 engine, which is a custom built JavaScript engine. Because Google has used parts from Apple's Safari and Mozilla's Firefox browsers, they made the project open source.
Version 1.2.13.75 of Google Keystone (Google Software Update) recently shipped with a bug that damages the macOS file system on computers where System Integrity Protection is disabled. Also known as SIP, the OS security feature helps “prevent potentially malicious software from modifying protected files and folders on your Mac.” This issue also affects Macs that do not support SIP (pre-OS X El Capitan).
Update Google Chrome For Mac
Google tells us that it has paused the roll out of Keystone 1.2.13.75 until a solution is developed. The company recommends taking the following steps to recover a machine affected by the bug until a fix is in place. (Update: Google this evening has issued new commands after running further tests.)
chroot /Volumes/Macintosh HD [note: “Macintosh HD” is the default]
mv var var_back # var may not exist, but this is fine
ln -sh private/var var
chflags -h restricted /var
chflags -h hidden /var
xattr -sw com.apple.rootless “” /var
Those Terminal commands will specifically remove the affected version of Google Software Update, and then restore the damaged portion of the file system. A system reboot is then needed. Users need to perform these steps in Recovery Mode, and root credentials are required.
Several Mac administrators have compiled a more technical explanation of what’s happening and the underlying issue that’s not related to Avid after all. Video professionals were particularly affected as System Integrity Protection has to be disabled to allow for third-party video card support. The majority of users should be unaffected as long as SIP is enabled, which is the default setting.
