Google made a record payout of $31,336 to a security researcher. As part of the update to version 26.0.1410.57, Google closed four security holes in Chrome OS. Two of the holes were discovered by Ralf-Philipp Weinmann who earned the record payout under the Chromium Vulnerability Rewards Program. Google did not reveal why this payment wasn’t one dollar more to fit in with their previous leet-speak themed rewards. The vulnerabilities include a problem with uninitialised memory left in a buffer, a use-after-free exploit and a bypass of the origin lock of the O3D and Google Talk plugins.”]
