New V8 security setting back to top
Chrome 122 adds a new setting on chrome://settings/security to disable the V8 JIT optimizers, to reduce the attack surface of Chrome browser. This behavior continues to be controlled by the DefaultJavaScriptJitSetting enterprise policy, and the associated JavaScriptJitAllowedForSites and JavaScriptJitBlockedForSites policies. The setting is integrated into Site Settings. The enterprise policies have been available since Chrome 93.

VMware has released patches that address a new critical security advisory, VMSA-2021-0010 (CVE-2021-21985 &  CVE-2021-21986). This needs your immediate attention if you are using vCenter Server (if you didn’t get an email about it, please subscribe to our Security Advisories mailing list). In most cases a security advisory is straightforward, but sometimes there are nuances that are worth extra discussion. That is the case here, and the goal of this post is to help you decide your course forward.
