Google Repairs High-Risk Flaw in Chrome

Google has fixed a couple of security vulnerabilities in its Chrome browser. The biggest fix in Chrome 23 is a patch for the use-after-free vulnerability in the Chrome SVG filters. That vulnerability brought home a $1,000 reward for a frequent contributor to Google s bug bounty program. The company also repaired a buffer underflow in libxml, a medium-risk vulnerability that earned a researcher Atte Kettunen a $500 reward. Google recently has been handing out some rewards for researchers who report vulnerabilities in non-Chrome components.
