Google has shelled out more than $10,000 in bounties for the latest batch of high-risk security vulnerabilities in its Chrome browser. The company released Google Chrome 5.0.375.127 with patches for 9 security holes and a workaround for a Windows kernel bug, paying $10,011 in rewards to the hackers who reported the issues.

The update is available for Windows, Mac and Linux.

Here are the details from Google’s Jason Kersey:

Google and Mozilla pay bounties for security vulnerabilities in its products. Microsoft says it has no plans to pay hackers for reporting security problems.

@Lite

I found a bug in your firmware, what are you going to pay me?
