Linux Security Roundup: 58-CVE Chromium, Critical unbound DNS, and Ubuntu apology

Today's daily Linux security roundup landed across eight distros, led by Fedora's massive Chromium update carrying 58 CVEs. Critical fixes went to the unbound DNS resolver in both Red Hat and Rocky Linux, while Apache Unbound, IPA, and the Ansible Automation Platform also drew top-severity flags. Firefox, PostgreSQL, and the container toolchain (podman, runc, containernetworking-plugins) show up across nearly every distro, though patch effort varies by release. And in a rare twist, USN-8287-2 is Ubuntu apologizing for regressing its own earlier XDG Desktop Portal fix.
