Update Information:
Update to 88.0.4324.150. Fixes: CVE-2021-21142 CVE-2021-21143 CVE-2021-21144
CVE-2021-21145 CVE-2021-21146 CVE-2021-21147 CVE-2021-21148 Please keep in mind
that this release fixes an actively exploited 0-day vulnerability. ---- This
is probably not the update you want. Let me be clear, it does fix the security
vulnerabilities in this list: CVE-2020-16044 CVE-2021-21118 CVE-2021-21119
CVE-2021-21120 CVE-2021-21121 CVE-2021-21122 CVE-2021-21123 CVE-2021-21124
CVE-2021-21125 CVE-2021-21126 CVE-2021-21127 CVE-2021-21129 CVE-2021-21130
CVE-2021-21131 CVE-2021-21132 CVE-2021-21133 CVE-2021-21134 CVE-2021-21135
CVE-2021-21136 CVE-2021-21137 CVE-2021-21138 CVE-2021-21139 CVE-2021-21140
CVE-2021-21141 CVE-2021-21117 CVE-2021-21128 But it will not behave like Google
Chrome does. Google has announced that it is cutting off access to the Sync and
"other Google Exclusive" APIs from all builds except Google Chrome. This will
make the EPEL Chromium build significantly less functional (along with every
other distro packaged Chromium). It is noteworthy that Google _gave_ the
builders of distribution Chromium packages these access rights back in 2013 via
API keys, specifically so that we could have open source builds of Chromium with
(near) feature parity to Chrome. And now they're taking it away. The reasoning
given for this change? Google does not want users to be able to "access their
personal Chrome Sync data (such as bookmarks) ... with a non-Google, Chromium-
based browser." They're not closing a security hole, they're just requiring
that
everyone use Chrome. Or to put it bluntly, they do not want you to access their
Google API functionality without using proprietary software (Google Chrome).
There is no good reason for Google to do this, other than to force people to use
Chrome. I gave a lot of thought to whether I wanted to continue to maintain the
Chromium package in EPEL, given that many (most?) users will be confused/annoyed
when API functionality like sync and geolocation stops working for no good
reason. Ultimately, I decided to continue for now, because there were at least
some users who didn't mind, and if I stopped, someone else would start over and
run blindly into this problem. I would say that you might want to reconsider
whether you want to use Chromium or not. If you want the full "Google"
experience, you can run the proprietary Chrome. If you want to use a FOSS
browser that isn't hobbled, there is a Firefox package in whatever EL flavor
you're using. Oh, last, but not least, Google isn't shutting off the API access
until March 15, 2021, but I have gone ahead and disabled it starting with this
update. I'd rather you read about it here (even though most users will never see
this) than have it just happen. ---- Update Chromium to 87.0.4280.141. Fixes:
