Title: Google patches nine flaws in Chrome
Post by: Simon on August 20, 2010, 10:45

Google has rolled out a security update to fix nine flaws in its Chrome browser.

Chrome patched two critical vulnerabilities, six high risk weaknesses and one rated medium.

The two critical bugs caused a crash on shutdown and memory corruption, while the high risk bugs included one that allowed the address bar to be spoofed. The full details weren't released in order to give the update time to reach users first, Google said.

Security researcher Sergey Glazunov once again picked up some cash from Chrome, reporting four bugs. He was paid out $1337 each for two bugs and awarded $1000 each for the other two, which caused memory corruption in the browser.

Google recently increased its bug bounty from a maximum $1,337 to over $3,000.
