Among the other vulnerabilities Google fixed were four high-severity ones, including two other use-after-free vulnerabilities. Three of those other flaws earned $1,000 rewards for the researchers who reported them. The other one was reported through TippingPointβs Zero Day Initiative.

The use-after-free flaw in the Safe Browsing navigation actually was fixed in a previous version of Chrome, but Google officials forgot to include it in the release notes at that point.
