For the last several years, I have seen the same flaws again and again show up in the security vulnerability list for Google’s open source Chrome browser (and to be fair in Firefox lately too).
Use-after-free errors are common and frequent in browsers. Google updated Chrome this week to version 23.0.1271.91 fixing six flaws and paying out $1,500 in bug bounties.
