Google has released a stable version of Chrome 5.0.375.127 for Windows, Mac and Linux platforms.
The update patches a number of critical and serious vulnerabilities related to memory corruption, (possible) address bar spoofing and browser crashes.
The Mountain View-based company also deployed a workaround for a critical vulnerability where the root cause was traced to an external Windows kernel bug.
Meanwhile, bug bounty hunters collected the big bucks for finding the browser vulnerabilities, with digital bounty hunter Sergey Glazunov claiming a cool $1337 for identifying a critical memory corruption.
