Chrome was updated September 11
Matrix Element Desktop updated September 15, without a changelog or advisory. (The Element update on September 13 did not include the updated electron with the fix; today’s update does, according to their announcement on Matrix.)
Many/most electron apps don’t receive timely security updates, so if you don’t want arbitrary images to be able to get code execution you might want to stop using them.
At this pace I predict the fabled “year of the Linux desktop” will arrive when local- processing desktops have been overrun by closed-off mobile devices and cloud services.
