- Google Chrome update doesn't remove older, vulnerable version
- But how would an attacker cause the vulnerable code to execute?Frankly, this seems to be a minor issue. If you are launching Chrome you will launch the latest version. The older version is just cruft. I don't see any scenario where you inadvertently or an attacker can execute the older...

- Microsoft says Google Chrome Frame doubles IE attack surface
