Major Browsers hacked at Pwn2Own hacking competition

At the Pwn2Own hacking competition two researchers hacked the four major browsers, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, and Apple Safari. Korean researcher Jung Hoon Lee earned $110,000 in just two minutes, the man used 2000 lines of code to take down both stable and beta versions of Chrome by exploiting a buffer overflow race condition in the browser. Lee also hacked in the same day a 64-bit version of IE 11 exploiting a time-of-check to time- of-use (TOCTOU) vulnerability.”]
