iOS 4.3.2 out for delivery
Vlad Savos at engadget reports that Apple has just released “[...] version 4.3.2 of iOS is now available for downloadin’ and updatin’. Fixes for occasional “blank or frozen” FaceTime video and iPad 3G issues get top billing, while the obligatory security updates fill out the rest. The size of this mighty software drop? A hefty 666.2MB [...]“.

Google has just released a new stable version of Chrome, upgrading to version 10.0.658.205.
According to Martin Brinkmann at ghacks.net (full article here), “[...]
The release is a security update that fixes vulnerabilities in all versions of the web browser. Most notably, it includes an early fix for the Adobe Flash vulnerability that has been confirmed by Adobe earlier this week.
Three additional security vulnerabilities are fixed in the latest Google Chrome Stable version. One of the fixed issues is only affecting Chrome on Windows, while the remaining are affected all versions of the Chrome browser.
- [Windows only] [70070] Critical CVE-2011-1300: Off-by-three in GPU process.

All three vulnerabilities have received a critical rating, the highest possible rating. The Adobe Flash vulnerability was rated critical by Adobe, which means four critical vulnerabilities have been fixed in total in the latest version of Google Chrome.
Google Chrome users can download the latest version of the web browser from the officialGoogle Chrome download page, or with an in-browser update.[...]“.
