Google Chrome Stable Updated

The developers of the Google Chrome web browser have released an update to the stable channel on Windows. The different release versions of the browser confuse at least some users. The easiest way to distinguish the browsers is to associated version 4.1.x releases with the stable channel and 5.0.x versions with the dev channel.

The browser was updated to Google Chrome 4.1.249.1064 fixing two bugs and three security issues in the process. One bug affected the JavaScript performance of the browser while the other reported an incorrect path for the Java plugin.

The security vulnerabilities have all received a high rating which is the second highest security vulnerability rating.


High Cross-origin bypass in Google URL (GURL).
High Memory corruption in HTML5 Media handling.
High Memory corruption in font handling.

Google Chrome users who are still running the stable channel on Windows are encouraged to update the web browser as soon as possible to fix the security issues and bugs.

It is possible to install the update directly in Chrome by clicking on the Tool icon in the main toolbar and then About Google Chrome. Users who prefer to download the latest version can do so at the official Google Chrome website.
