Isn't qtwebengine also vulnerable to this?
(In reply to Sergey 'L29Ah' Alirzaev from comment #2) > Isn't qtwebengine also vulnerable to this? Probably. Ionen is very much across the qtwebengine side of things, though we haven't ever discussed including it in the security bugs we log for Chromium et al. I'm not quite sure where we draw the line though - these are included because I'm maintaining them for the Chromium project. Vivaldi should _probably_ be included here, too; it's a direct Chromium derivative. If we start including qtwebengine we should also be including falkon, at the very least. This is a bit of a slippery slope - what about electron-based apps? I'd be willing to bet that most of the Chromium vulnerabilities apply to these apps too, especially if they deal with remote content. I'm not sure how to make a determination about whether a given upstream security bug is applicable to forks and derivatives that I'm not maintaining. CC Ionen, James: Do you want these bugs to also include your packages (and CCs), or should we just maintain the status quo? @Security: What do _you_ want?
(In reply to Matt Jolly from comment #3) > CC Ionen, James: Do you want these bugs to also include your packages (and > CCs), or should we just maintain the status quo? Maybe only for the really bad "exploited in the wild" ones like CVE-2025-5419 here. But we've largely been ignoring security issues with qtwebengine and instead give a permanent warning in the ebuild that it's not secure. Qt just does not do releases often enough to keep up and there'd be no end to downstream work + rebuild for users (in many cases users don't even use it to access remote web pages too but rather display local stuff, it's mostly qutebrowser and falkon users that are at risk). At a glance Qt hasn't done their own backport yet.
(In reply to Ionen Wolkens from comment #4) > At a glance Qt hasn't done their own backport yet. And on that note, I'll wait for that to do anything. Issue being that qtwebengine uses a much older "base" chromium with security backports -- they also change up a lot of things and omit using large chunk of code (not all CVEs may apply, albeit V8 ones likely all do). May be simple at times but still means that we need to properly test & adapt everything as chromium's own fixes are meant for the newer version. Doesn't help that we won't get backports for 6.8.x which is based on a yet older chromium (after Qt x.y.3 it goes private for commercial users). So, if want to stay simple, that likely means fixing 6.9.1 and stable users will get the fixes in 20-30+ days (can't really do earlier due to 6.9 causing some breakage).

Although I try to avoid concerning you with Vivaldi, I would appreciate it if you could handle this side of it. I don't follow these issues that closely and basically just bump Vivaldi as and when new versions appear. I'm away to do a fresh bump now.
