We would also like to thank all security researchers that worked with us during the development cycle to prevent security bugs from ever reaching the stable channel. The total value of additional rewards and their recipients will updated here when all reports have gone through the reward panel.
As usual, our ongoing internal security work was responsible for a wide range of fixes:
[

Multiple vulnerabilities in V8 fixed at the tip of the 4.8 branch (currently 4.8.271.17).
Many of our security bugs are detected using
AddressSanitizer
,
MemorySanitizer
