Just yesterday I uploaded my packages for chromium and chromium-ungoogled to 117.0.5938.92. Only to discover right before heading to bed that there’s a new security update available… Chromium 117.0.5938.132 fixes a zero-day vulnerability in libvpx (CVE-2023-5217) which is already actively exploited to install spyware on computers.
The chromium packages for 117.0.5938.132 are already available in my repository. The chromium-ungoogled packages are currently compiling and will become available in the evening (CET timezone) i.e. later today.
It’s highly recommended to upgrade to my latest chromium and chromium-ungoogled packages.
Find the updated Slackware 15.0 and -current packages both for chromium and chromium-ungoogled in my repository and its mirrors (like my own US server and in a short while, the UK mirror).
Cheers, Eric
Thanks Eric!
Thanks Eric !
Installed chromium-117.0.5938.132-x86_64-1alien and chromium-ungoogled-117.0.5938.92-x86_64-1alien on my Slackware64 15.0 Laptop and both are working great as always.
Thanks again !!

Hi Eric,
Thank you for quick update.
Google has kept you even busier than usual with Chromium updates lately. That’s two critical issues in about a week, if I haven’t fallen behind. Thanks for the extra effort to keep up with them this week.

Yes it is really annoying as hell and quite time-consuming.
Thanks Eric for your time and effort keeping this package updated. Nice dreams! 🙂
