Google posts Chrome security fixes

Google has fixed 11 vulnerabilities in Chrome

Google has issued a fresh round of security updates for its Chrome web browser, addressing 11 vulnerabilities for the Windows, Mac OS X and Linux versions.

Eight of the flaws in the Chrome 5.0.375.70 update are labelled as 'high risk', while the remaining three are listed as 'medium' risk. The vulnerabilities range from memory corruption and cross site scripting flaws, to keystroke redirection risks.

Two of the flaws are listed as discoveries which brought cash rewards. Google has a policy of paying bounties to researchers who directly report zero-day flaws in Chrome.

The update comes just days after two of Google's competitors in the browser market delivered fixes of their own.

Apple included security patches in its recent Safari 5 release, while Microsoft bundled a fix for a critical security flaw in Internet Explorer with its monthly security update.
