Google has released Chrome 99.0.4844.51 for Mac, Linux, and Windows, including 28 security patches for the popular browser.

Information is available regarding the 21 publicly submitted vulnerabilities, while internally discovered bugs are being kept undisclosed until users have had an opportunity to update to the latest version. Of the released vulnerabilities, nine are considered high severity.

A use-after-free (UAF) vulnerability in MediaStream took the top payout, earning the researcher $15,000 for their discovery of the bug. Many of the other vulnerabilities had payouts in the thousands of dollars for issues related to buffer overflow, out-of-bounds memory, and additional UAF vulnerabilities.
