Google on Monday patched 11 vulnerabilities in Chrome, including one of the rare bugs the company has deemed critical in its browser.
It was the second time this month that Google updated Chrome to fix flaws.
One of the 11 bugs was rated "critical," Google's highest threat ranking, nine were tagged as "high" and another was labeled "medium." The critical vulnerability was the sixth with that ranking Google has patched so far this year.
Google identified that bug as one involving "memory corruption in vertex handing," referring to code that adds special effects such as textures to 3-D shapes. The company credited Michael Braithwaite, a senior software engineer with Turbulenz Limited, a U.K. online gaming platform developer, with reporting the vulnerability.
