have gone through the reward panel.

 As usual, our ongoing internal security work was responsible for a wide range of fixes:
[579625] CVE-2016-1620: Various fixes from internal audits, fuzzing and other initiatives.
Multiple vulnerabilities in V8 fixed at the tip of the 4.8 branch (currently 4.8.271.17).
