Google Chrome 2 Security Update

The Google Chrome development team has released a security update for the stable release version of Google Chrome 2. The release of the Google browser fixes two security vulnerabilities that are rated high and provides one security fix that is rated medium. The first vulnerability in the JavaScript engine of the web browser allows attackers to run arbitrary code within the Google Chrome sandbox. A victim running an unpatched version of the web browser needs to visit a specifically prepared website to trigger the attack.

A flaw in the V8 Javascript engine might allow specially-crafted Javascript on a web page to read unauthorized memory, bypassing security checks. It is possible that this could lead to disclosing unauthorized data to an attacker or allow an attacker to run arbitrary code.

That was back in May when that article was released.

The Dev Branch of Chrome is on Chrome 4 line now.

That always confused me too. The official chrome releases are farther behind the dev releases. You can use the Early Access Release Channels (Chromium Developer Documentation) to change your chrome channel to the dev channel.
