@adam1709 I know right. I’m starting believe that they don’t have a CI pipeline behind it, and everything has to be checked manually. Didn’t they skip a stable release last week?
“Im not that worried coming from a mod” is worrying, even though they are supposedly an ordinary user.

@antonio1678 said in Opera 110:
Is it "High CVE-2024-4671: Use after free in Visuals"?
The included patch in this build is indeed for that one.

However, what puzzles me is why 124 came out with version 62 from a few weeks ago?
Read all of https://yngve.vivaldi.net/sooo-you-say-you-want-to-maintain-a-chromium-fork/. There's a lot that goes into the intake of a new Chromium version and it can take a lot of time just to make sure things are right. You're basically always behind and have to backport important fixes. Opera is in the same boat as it modifies Chromium a lot like Vivaldi does. As for Brave, I think things might be a little easier as Brave doesn't modify Chromium as much.

@burnout426 hi, nice find and very interesting read, but also that’s mainly for new major version. As for security fixes, according to the author;
“””
A slightly modified, less complicated variant of the above process can be used to perform such minor version updates, and in our case this smaller process usually takes just a few hours.
“””I have no objection with Opera delaying major version upgrade, at the very minimum, at least keeping up to date with extended stable.

@iosaddict-0 Regarding what I said, usually those security issues require a lot of things to happen for someone to be a victim of them and that's why I said that I wasn't worried about a little delay in having the security fixes in Opera.

Has anybody experienced trouble with pages loading on 110?
Yesterday I updated from 109.0.5097.80 to 110.0.5130.23. Although I am behind a corporate firewall, many sites that I went to minutes before the update would not work correctly after the update. Many gave me handshake failures and 404 errors related to CloudShare. Other sites loaded with strange formatting, and some would load but without images.
Like I said, the only thing that changed in those 10 minutes was updating Opera version. I rolled back to 109.0.5097.80 and everything is fine.

@burnout426: So they miss the other 0-days CVE-2024-4761 and CVE-2024-4947

@leocg this is not true at all. Most people don’t take precautions when browsing the internet and you literally don’t have to do anything but to simply visit a crafted page.

@iosaddict-0 So, someone needs to create a page that exploits the security flaw and trick people to go open it

@leocg and that exists per Google? That's why it's called a zero day.
"Google is aware that an exploit for CVE-2024-4947 exists in the wild." Maybe not for you, it is very easy to trick users to open links. -

Scrollbars are still broken on Linux, going on like a year now... Also, tabs frequently do not close when clicking the X on the tab and you have to right click and select close.

Healing-Cross last edited byI wouldn't find it too bad, actually, if they referred to security fixes, when they were backported into an earlier version of Chromium.
It would at least give me some assurance, they were caring. -
