The Chrome team announced the release of Chrome 18 that contains a number of new features including faster graphics. According to Google, Chrome 18 supports 2D canvas accelerator for Windows and Mac with GPU, and also expends the standard WebGL 3D support for older systems.
Google fixed nine vulnerabilities, three of which have a high risk rank, five – the average risk rank, and one – a low risk rank. Besides, Chrome 18 also includes the updated component of Adobe Flash Player, in which two memory corruption vulnerabilities were patched. Both vulnerabilities allow a remote user to cause a memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
It should be mentioned that Google has already paid $210,000 security researchers, which took part in Pwnium contest. $120,000 was paid to researchers, who discovered critical vulnerabilities and developed functional exploits that allowed to compromise a target system.
