The flaws ran the gamut from a possible pop-up blocker bypass to a use-after-free vulnerability with SVG animations that is considered by Google to be high risk. All totaled, the new release includes 800 bugs and stability improvements. In addition to the patches, Google also added a PDF viewer secured in Chrome's sandbox.
