Google is now out with Chrome 15, fixing a large number of flaws found
by third party researchers who are being paid bug bounties for their
efforts. Ever since the bounty program started, Google is fixing over 27 flaws and have paid $26,511 in bug bounties to security researchers.
Ten flaws fixed in the Chrome 15 updates were discovered with an open
source project called, AddressSanitizer. The AddressSanitizer is a
memory error detector for C/C++ and is able to help identify
out-of-bounds access issues as well as use-after-free memory conditions. Looking beyond security fixes, Google has also made some incremental
feature improvements with Chrome 15. There is a new Tab page layout
that shows a user's most visited sites. Additionally, Google has updated
the look for the Chrome app store.
