Google Chrome Team Fixes 6 High-Risk Flaws

"Google March 24 paid out $8,500 for six Chrome Web browser flaws found by enterprising developers. The company also issued two new SSL certificates to protect against the Comodo certificate issue.

"The holes include a buffer error in base string handling, for which Google paid $500; use-after-free in the frame loader, which earned the finder $1,000; and a use-after-free in HTML Collection that netted the discovery $2,000.
