Security & Privacy

Google has updated Chrome, the company’s web browser, patching 25 vulnerabilities, many of which are serious. While a few of these vulnerabilities affect only the Linux version of Chrome, and one affects only the Mac and Linux versions, the majority affect all platforms.

The new version number of Chrome is 11.0.696.57, and the browser will update itself automatically on launch.

It is worth noting that Google paid out a total of $16,500 in “finder’s fees” to people who reported these flaws.
