You must update your Google Chrome now.

Security researcher Michał Bentkowski discovered and reported a high severity vulnerability in Google Chrome in late May, affecting the web browsing software for all major operating systems including Windows, Mac, and Linux.

That's weird. I just got a popup in Chrome that said if I paypal Google $20, they'll update it for me.

thanks for the heads_up colin_b.

For those reading this...

if you've installed google-chrome from either the deb on google's website, or from mx-packageinstaller, you will get any updates automatically thru the google repo.

FYI: mx "test" repo is not the same thing as debian testing repo.

Version 67.0.3396.79 here, I updated about 6-8 hours ago.

Open Synaptic and reload to search for updates. It should pop up.

Weird, I'm still seeing Chromium vers 66 in synaptic on MX. Do you folks have other repos enabled besides the defaults?

No Chromium update here either KBD, not sure if this effects Chromium as well or not? Debian Security Team/Debian Chromium Maintainers would handle a Chromium update if necessary I think, nothing yet. I'll check their mailing list, see if any information there...

Good point. It may not affect Chromium. I know Chromium is stripped of some of the google spyware, and it may be the issue is tied to that extra junk google adds to Chrome.

I can't find anything online about this security issue in relation to Chromium.
