Google updated its stable Chrome browser with a new version that includes three major security fixes.
Version 23.0.1271.91 patches vulnerabilities that affect a corrupt rendering in the Apple OS X driver for Intel GPUs, a buffer underflow in libxml, as well as a high-risk use-after-free in SVG filters bug.
Additional security fixes cover an out-of-bounds read in Skia, a use-after-free bug printing bug, a bad cast in input element handling, and a browser crash issue. Google paid a total of $2,500 in external bug rewards. In addition to the security problems, the new Chrome version also patches a problem that resulted in no audio from Flash content when the speaker configuration is set to quadraphonic, and a renderer crash on Windows Server 2003.
Google released the new browser version for Windows, Mac, Linux, and ChromeFrame platforms.
