Threatpost: Google on Monday released fixes for a number of bugs in Chrome discovered and exploited during Pwn2Own, releasing new versions of the browser for Windows, Mac and Linux.
This year’s Pwn2Own, which runs in conjunction with the CanSecWest conference in Vancouver, showcased vulnerabilities and exploits in most of the major browsers, including Internet Explorer and Firefox, along with Chrome. The team from VUPEN, the French security and exploit-sales firm, took home several hundred thousand dollars in prize money from the contest, a good portion of it for demonstrating new bugs in Google Chrome. In addition to the prize money from the contest, Google also is paying its own rewards to the researchers who used new flaws in Chrome.
