Package: chromium
Version: 150.0.7871.46-1~deb13u1
Followup-For: Bug #1141488
I can confirm this crash on Debian 13 (trixie) amd64, and want to add a
data point about impact: it is not limited to interactive/GUI startup —
headless mode is equally affected, which silently breaks all
chromedriver/WebDriver-based automation after the security upgrade.
Reproduction with a completely fresh profile:
$ chromium --headless=new --user-data-dir=$(mktemp -d) --dump-dom
about:blank
Trace/breakpoint trap (exit code 133, no output at all)
$ chromium --headless=new --user-data-dir=$(mktemp -d) \
--remote-debugging-port=9333 about:blank
Trace/breakpoint trap (exit code 133)
Consequences:
* chromium-driver 150.0.7871.46-1~deb13u1 is unusable with the
matching chromium: chromedriver reports "session not created:
cannot connect to chrome" / "Chrome instance exited" because the
browser dies instantly with SIGTRAP before the DevTools endpoint
comes up. Any Selenium/Puppeteer-style setup on trixie is dead.
* Since 150.0.7871.46-1~deb13u1 arrived via trixie-security and was
installed by unattended-upgrades, unattended headless workloads broke
overnight with no useful error message. Independent report of the
same breakage (Grafana image renderer):

Downgrading all four chromium packages to 149.0.7827.196-1~deb13u1
from snapshot.debian.org fully restores both headless operation and
chromedriver, so this is specific to the .46 build, consistent with the
analysis of the ungoogled remove-navigation-source-param.patch earlier
in this bug.
Given that this build shipped through the security archive and takes
out both interactive and automated use, it would be great to see the
proposed one-line fix (or a revert of the offending patch) uploaded as
a regression update soon.
