The plan for Chromium as the default browser in saucy is probably a joke, seeing how Ubuntu is stuck with Chromium 25 when the latest stable release (for Linux) is 28, and 25 has quite a few known security issues.
Debian has shown much more interest in keeping up to date with chromium security fixes in unstable at least since version 18 or so (I haven't followed the process before that), though there were some larger delays as well. If you can't fix this problem, maybe think about joining forces with debian and make sure the packages in unstable are quickly copied to Ubuntu as well, and possibly vice-versa. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to chromium-browser in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1183086 Title: Please update to 27.0.1453.110 Status in “chromium-browser” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: And again a new stable release with lots of security fixes: http://googlechromereleases.blogspot.de/2013/05/stable-channel- release.html Here are the CVEs: CVE-2013-2837: Use-after-free in SVG.
