openSUSE 16 Security Update : chromium (openSUSE-SU-2026:20248-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 299655

Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote openSUSE 16 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the openSUSE-SU-2026:20248-1 advisory.

Changes in chromium:

- more fixes for desktop file, some variables were lowercased, further adaptions in INSTALL script (boo#1258199)

- also copy rollup into third_party/node/node_modules
- stay on llvm-10 for swiftshader but bring a similar patch

- drop use of rollup binaries and use rollup-3.x which does not use prebuilt binaries (that fail at least on older ppc64le) follow the approach of the debian packaging

- update/resync ppc64le patches from fedora

- fix INSTALL.sh again to replace the tags in desktop file, appdata and manpage (boo#1258199)

- Chromium 145.0.7632.75:
* CVE-2026-2441: Use after free in CSS (boo#1258185)

- Chromium 145.0.7632.67:
