Reno "From upstream this morning: {{{ TL;DR: We recommend applying the patches from [2] and [3] over 2.44.3, and the issues are expected to be solved in the upcoming 2.44.4 releases.

The issue [1] is not new but it started showing up in stable releases in 2.44.3 -- a workaround is available [2], which may or not be merged as-is, but I would recommend that packagers apply it before the fix is available in the next stable release. * Sites using WebAssembly can easily hit a crash related to code generation. This was caused by a patch backport. For the moment we have decided to revert it in the release branch [3], and packagers may want to do the same. I am investigating in case may be possible to re-apply the patch without introducing regressions in the next stable release, but I am not sure at the moment. Cheers, —Adrián --- [1] https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=274780 [2] https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/pull/32240 [3] https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/commit/9140ce712aa87091613874d802787ab476be0e39 }}} We're not hit by the LTO bug, but we are by the WebAssembly fix. Upstream recommends packagers patch this set of issues ASAP, so I will do so today." enhancement closed normal 12.2 BOOK git medium fixed
