Google has released a new version of its Chrome browser, fixing three serious security flaws in earlier versions of the browser. Google paid $1500 through its bug bounty program to fix the bugs. Two of the vulnerabilities are memory-corruption flaws, one in HTML5 handling and one in font handling. The other flaw is a cross-origin bypass in Google URL. Google started a reward program earlier this year that pays out different amounts of money to researchers who find bugs in Chrome or Chromium. The payouts start at $500 and rise from there, depending upon the severity of the bug and its exploitability.
