24 Jun 09 Google fix critical chrome bug

The Enquirer reports that Google has fixed up a vulnerability in it’s latest release – 2.0.172.33

Writing in its bog, Google said that if a pesky hacker got ahold of it, they could crash the browser or run code with the privileges of the logged-on user.

Exploiting the security flaw would require luring the user to a poisoned web site, but Google did not provided any other details.

Whilst it’s a pretty large hole, google’s internal security team found it and not an outside hacker so it’s nice to see the security guys at google doing their jobs.
