- Inappropriate implementation in Navigation in Google Chrome prior to 97.0.4692.71 allowed a remote attacker to leak cross-origin data via a crafted HTML page. (CVE-2022-0108)

Processing maliciously crafted web content may lead to arbitrary code execution. Apple is aware of a report that this issue may have been actively exploited. (CVE-2023-28205)

- * The Bubblewrap sandbox no longer requires setting an application identifier via GApplication to operate correctly. Using GApplication is still recommended, but optional. * Adjust the scrolling speed for mouse wheels to make it feel more natural. * Allow pasting content using the Asynchronous Clipboard API when the origin is the same as the clipboard contents. * Improvements to the GStreamer multimedia playback, in particular around MSE, WebRTC, and seeking. * Make all supported image types appear in the Accept HTTP header. * Fix text caret blinking when blinking is disabled in the GTK settings. * Fix default database quota size definition. * Fix application of all caps tags listed in the font-feature-settings CSS property. * Fix font height calculations for the font-size-adjust CSS property. * Fix several crashes and rendering issues. * Security fixes: CVE-2022-0108, CVE-2022-32885, CVE-2023-25358, CVE-2023-27932, CVE-2023-27954, CVE-2023-28205 (CVE-2022-32885)
