Google on Monday released the latest stable version of Chrome that includes patches for 30 vulnerabilities, including five high severity issues.
The company paid out $23,500 to external researchers for the vulnerabilities, including $7,500 for a type confusion vulnerability in V8, the open source JavaScript engine Google uses for the browser. The fix was a relatively quick one for Google; Zhao Qixun, a researcher with Qihoo 360’s Vulcan Team, discovered the vulnerability just three weeks ago.
