The Edge browser has been updated to version 94.0.992.38. This update to the Stable channel was released on October 1, 2021.
Edge 94.0.992.38 comes with two critical fixes related to a previously known zero-day exploit which is specifically due to the Chromium foundation the browser runs on.
The two new fixes (CVE 2021 37975 and CVE 2021 37976) are related to use after free in V8 and an information leak in core respectively.

The Edge browser will automatically update itself the next time you close the browser window. However, if your browser is open, you can head to Settings > Help and Feedback > About Microsoft Edge, and then the browser will automatically check for new updates and apply them.
