Today, I uploaded a set of Chromium 93.0.4577.82 packages for Slackware 14.2 and -current (32-bit as well as 64-bit).
According to yesterday’s official announcement on the Google blog, this release patches a number of vulnerabilites and two of them are zero-day vulnerabilities that are actively being exploited online.
The advice is to upgrade Chromium on your Slackware 14.2 and -current computers as soon as possible.
The ungoogled-chromium sources are lagging behind as usual, but I have hopes that a new source tarball will appear soon, now that we have a Chromium update which addresses multiple zero-days. Eloston, the project maintainer, seems AWOL but several contributors have a working patch set ready.
Stay safe! Eric
thanks for these recurring updates,
The x86 version of chromium 93.0.4577.82 package does not work.
It crashes immediately on startup:

Thanks, david
You should subscribe to the RSS feed of my package ChangeLog. It’s even shown on the every page of this blog, in a WordPress widget half-way the right column.
The changelog for Chromium reads (and has been reading like this since version 90):
Oh… sorry about that!
Hi Eric, thanks for the work.
I just tried installing this package on fresh slack14.2-64 on virtualbox. But when I run the chromium it crashes immediately:

Got any pointers on how to solve this?
Thanks again.
You should keep your Slackware 14.2 up-to-date with the available patches. For Slackware 14.2, the latest mozilla-nss package has version 3.40.1. My guess is that you still have the original 3.23.
I compile my packages against a fully patched Slackware 14.2.
I see.
Yes, it’s a freshly installed unpatched Slackware. Just one `slackpkg update` and `slackpkg upgrade-all` command does the trick.
Thank you!
You’re welcome. Enjoy Chromium.
Hi Eric. I upgrade the x86_64 package and the audio is gone…

Any pointer on how to solve this? Thanks!
I guess you never read my blog unless you have an issue?
See discussion and fix in the comments section of the post about Chromium 94 (you are commenting here on an old article about Chromium 93 which is irrelevant since that version did not have the issue).
Fix: https://alien.slackbook.org/blog/un-googled-chromium-update-for-slackware-14-2-and-current/#comment-43155
Thanks!!
