We would also like to thank all security researchers that worked with us during the development cycle to prevent security bugs from ever reaching the stable channel. The total value of additional rewards and their recipients will updated here when all reports have gone through the reward panel. As usual, our ongoing internal security work was responsible for a wide range of fixes: [542517] CVE-2015-6763: Various fixes from internal audits, fuzzing and other initiatives. Multiple vulnerabilities in V8 fixed at the tip of the 4.6 branch (currently 4.6.85.23). @maintainer(s): after the bump, in case we need to stabilize the package, please let us know if it is ready for the stabilization or not.
chromium-46.0.2490.71 is in the tree and has been build tested. I am away from my workstation so I have not run tested it. Should be ok to stabilize it so long as some run time testing is done during that process.
amd64 stable
x86 stable and cleanup done.
