Google has awarded a total of more than $25,000 to the researchers who reported the vulnerabilities patched with the release of a Chrome 109 update.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The company informed users on Tuesday that six security holes have been patched in Chrome<\/a>, including four reported by external researchers.<\/p>\n

Two of them are high-severity use-after-free issues affecting the WebTransport and WebRTC components. Researchers Chichoo Kim and Cassidy Kim have been credited for reporting the flaws and they have earned a total of $19,000 for their findings.<\/p>\n

These vulnerabilities are tracked as CVE-2023-0471 and CVE-2023-0472.<\/p>\n

Use-after-free bugs affecting Chrome can typically be exploited for remote code execution and sandbox escapes, but in many cases they need to be chained with other flaws.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The latest Chrome update also fixes a medium-severity type confusion issue that earned a researcher $7,500, and a medium-severity use-after-free for which the reward has yet to be determined.\u00a0<\/p>\n

None of these vulnerabilities appears to have been exploited in the wild. According to Google\u2019s own data, eight Chrome flaws were exploited in attacks in 2022.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The tech giant admitted last year that an increasing number of Chrome vulnerabilities have been exploited by threat actors, and attempted to provide an explanation<\/a> for this trend.\u00a0<\/p>\n
