Google has released Chrome 5.0.375.125, which patches seven vulnerabilities.

"Google paid two $1,337 bounties for work that lets Chrome avoid critical security problems by sidestepping vulnerabilities in Windows and the widely used glibc software library, according to a Monday blog post about Chrome 5.0.375.125 by Jason Kersey of Google's Chrome team," writes CNET News' Steven Shankland.

"Also through its program to reward those who find Chrome security holes, Google issued payments to people who found three high-risk vulnerabilities and one medium-risk vulnerability," Shankland writes. "The final issue, a low-risk problem, elicited no payment."
