A series of vulnerabilities identified in Debian's Chromium browser could enable unauthorized code execution, result in denial of service, or lead to data exposure.
Multiple security issues were discovered in Chromium, which could result in the execution of arbitrary code, denial of service or information disclosure

Summary

Multiple security issues were discovered in Chromium, which could result
in the execution of arbitrary code, denial of service or information
disclosure.

For the oldstable distribution (buster), security support for Chromium
has been discontinued due to toolchain issues which no longer allow to
build current Chromium releases on buster. You can either upgrade to
the stable release (bullseye) or switch to a browser which continues
to receive security supports in buster (firefox-esr or browsers based
on webkit2gtk)

For the stable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed in
version 97.0.4692.71-0.1~deb11u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your chromium packages.

For the detailed security status of chromium please refer to
its security tracker page at:
