Linux Security Roundup: 353 CVEs in Chromium, 220 in SUSE's Kernel

Six Linux distributions, Fedora, Debian, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, and openSUSE, released security patches this weekend, and a few entries crossed from routine into surprising territory. Fedora's standout is Chromium landing at 156.0.8078.47 with 353 security fixes, while openSUSE's kernel tops even that with 129 vulnerabilities in Leap 16.0 and 220 in Tumbleweed's kernel-devel package. Debian's batch is led by Thunderbird at 62 CVEs and includes a Caddy change that strips any request header containing an underscore, so names like X_Api_Key must be renamed with a hyphen. RHEL rounded things out with 13 advisories rated mostly Important, and nothing across the roundup is flagged as actively exploited in the wild.
