We would also like to thank Collin Payne, Christoph Diehl, Sebastian Mauer, Atte Kettunen, and cloudfuzzer for working with us during the development cycle to prevent security bugs from ever reaching the stable channel. $8000 in additional rewards were issued.

As usual, our ongoing internal security work responsible for a wide range of fixes: CVE-2014-3175: Various fixes from internal audits, fuzzing and other initiatives (Chrome 37).

Many of the above bugs were detected using AddressSanitizer.
