Google closes vulnerabilities in Chrome 3

Google closes vulnerabilities in Chrome 3Google has released version 3.0.195.32 of Chrome, a security update that addresses a high risk vulnerability in its WebKit-based browser. In addition to a number of stability fixes, the stable channel update fixes a bug that could lead to possible memory corruption in the Gears plug-in. For an attack to be successful, a victim would have to visit a site under the attackers control and give that site access to Gears. The attacker could then place the Gears SQL metadata into a bad state which, in turn would cause memory corruption that could cause the Gears plugin to crash or allow for arbitrary code execution. http://bit.ly/1lrfTf
