The vulnerability in the V8 engine is an out-of-bounds error that can cause a memory-corruption condition and lead to remote code execution. The researcher who discovered the bug, Christian Holler, received a $1,000 reward from Google for the report. This is the second security update for Chrome in the last week, in fact. Last Thursday the company fixed seven vulnerabilities, including five high-risk ones. It s rare for Google to release an update to fix just a single bug, but the bug could be a serious one.
