Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The remote Debian 12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5526 advisory.

Multiple security issues were discovered in Chromium, which could result in the execution of arbitrary code, denial of service or information disclosure. For the oldstable distribution (bullseye) the updates need an additional toolchain update. When completed, fixes will be made available as 118.0.5993.70-1~deb11u1. For the stable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed in version 118.0.5993.70-1~deb12u1. We recommend that you upgrade your chromium packages. For the detailed security status of chromium please refer to its security tracker page at: https://security- tracker.debian.org/tracker/chromium

Solution

Upgrade the chromium packages.

For the stable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed in version 118.0.5993.70-1~deb12u1.
