Computerworld - Google yesterday patched nine vulnerabilities in Chrome in the sixth security update to Chrome 17, the edition that launched Feb. 8.

Wednesday’s update was the first since the Chrome security team issued a pair of quick fixes during the ”Pwnium” hacking event held March 7-9 at the CanSecWest security conference.

Six of the nine bugs patched Wednesday were rated “high,” the second-most dire ranking in Google’s threat system. One was marked “medium,” and the remaining two were labeled “low.”

Google paid $5,500 in bounties to four researchers for reporting five bugs. The four other vulnerabilities were uncovered by members of Google’s own security team or were too minor to be eligible for a bonus.

Three of the four researchers who reported flaws fixed in Chrome 17 yesterday have been recently recognized by Google. » Dynamic Wealth Management Headlines: Google patches 9 Chrome bugs, pays more to top researchers
