    Congratulations to PinkiePie (aka PwniePie) for a beautiful piece of work to close out the Pwnium competition!

    We’re delighted at the success of Pwnium and the ability to study full exploits. We anticipate landing additional changes and hardening measures for both CVE-2011-3046 and CVE-2011-3047 in the near future. We also believe that both submissions are works of art and deserve wider sharing and recognition. We plan to do technical reports on both Pwnium submissions in the future.

    The Chrome Stable channel has been updated to 17.0.963.65 on Windows, Mac, Linux and Chrome Frame.  This release fixes a number of issues including:

    • Cursors and backgrounds sometimes do not load (bug 111218)
    • Plugins not loading on some pages (bug 108228)
    • Text paste includes trailing spaces (bug 106551)
    • Websites using touch controls break (bug 110332)

    Along with these fixes, the release contains an updated version of the Adobe Flash player.  More information on Flash updates is available from Adobe.  

    Security fixes and rewards:

    Firstly, we have some special rewards for some special bugs!

      • [$10,000] [116661] Rockstar CVE-1337-d00d1: Excessive WebKit fuzzing. Credit to miaubiz.
      • [$10,000] [116662] Legend CVE-1337-d00d2: Awesome variety of fuzz targets. Credit to Aki Helin of OUSPG.
      • [$10,000] [116663] Superhero CVE-1337-d00d3: Significant pain inflicted upon SVG. Credit to Arthur Gerkis.

    To determine the above rewards, we looked at bug finding performance over the past few months. The three named individuals stood out significantly. It also shouldn’t come as a surprise that they all feature (and earn more!) in the release notes below.

    We have always reserved the right to arbitrarily reward sustained, extraordinary contributions. In this instance, we’re dropping a surprise bonus. We reserve the right to do so again and reserve the right to do so on a more regular basis! Chrome has a leading reputation for security and it wouldn’t be possible without the aggressive bug hunting of the wider community.

    Please see the Chromium security page for more detail. Note that the referenced bugs may be kept private until a majority of our users are up to date with the fix.
