bcomputerguy - downgrade, ok, but where to download old packages? Do you have one in your pkg cache? Can you share please?
Go to
Code:
/usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portdowngrade
and install
portdowngrade
Once you do that, head over to
and run
That will remove the current version of chromium from your system.
Then go to your home directory cd, I would not run these commands inside the port tree. So go to your home directory
then run
Code:
portdowngrade www/chromium r417611
This will create a chromium folder inside your home folder. Next cd into this newly created chromium folder.
If you try to run make install clean you will run into some security errors and the make will fail so you should run
Code:
make DISABLE_VULNERABILITIES=yes install clean
This will go through and install the latest version 51 of your chromium browser.
Make sure you read the final output lines by the build system and add this
Code:
kern.ipc.shm_allow_removed=1
one line to your
/etc/sysctl.conf
Once that's done you should be downgraded to chromium 51.0.2704.106 I forget the exact version.
You can then do
pkg lock chromium
it will ask you are you sure, just choose yes. That will prevent updating your other applications from upgrading chromium until the bug is fixed.
Once the bug is fixed you can remove the pkg lock from chromium.
After that you should be good, I am currently running chromim 51 and it's fine since the vulnerabilities that FreeBSD knows and warned us about.
If you have any more questions just post them here.
