Chrome 148 Update Patches Critical Vulnerabilities

Google has released Chrome 148, patching 79 vulnerabilities including 14 critical-severity bugs that could potentially allow remote code execution. The most significant flaws include a heap buffer overflow in WebML that earned a 43-thousand-dollar bug bounty and an integer overflow in Skia that paid out 25-thousand dollars, though Google says there's no evidence of any exploits in the wild. The update is now rolling out across Windows, Mac, and Linux platforms, with the company paying at least 44-thousand dollars in additional bounties for high-severity issues.
