With all the talk of Chrome OS, it’s easy to forget that Google also has a browser of the same name. Now it’s released a new version, 2.0.172.37, to the Beta and Stable channels, that fixes several minor bugs, including an update of the V8 Javascript engine.
More importantly, the new version plugs a pair of major security holes. One that had been found by the Google security team, allowed malicious code exploitation within the Chrome tab sandbox, and the other, a memory corruption in the browser tab process, could have been used by an attack to execute arbitrary code causing a crash of the browser tabs, which in turn would create another security hole for attacker to run code with the logged-on user privileges.
