New! Plugin Severity Now Using CVSS v3

The calculated severity for Plugins has been updated to use CVSS v3 by default. Plugins that do not have a CVSS v3 score will fall back to CVSS v2 for calculating severity. Severity display preferences can be toggled in the settings dropdown.

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

Update to 85.0.4183.121. Why? Because security, that's why. It fixes these CVEs :

CVE-2020-15960 CVE-2020-15961 CVE-2020-15962 CVE-2020-15963 CVE-2020-15964 CVE-2020-15965 CVE-2020-15966

It also has a fix for an issue where networking... uh... didn't.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora update system website.
Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected chromium package.
