[Buildroot] Spidermonkey bump version

[Yann E. MORIN]

Giulio, All,

On 2021-05-20 02:21 +0200, Giulio Benetti spake thusly:

Here are my thoughts on that (mozjs == spidermonkey):

  - of course, it is a bigger archive, but that's not necessarily an
    issue in the grand scheme of things;

  - the version we currently have does not require rust, but newer
    versions do; if we update, it means less architectures we can run
    spidermonkey, and thus polkit and its dependees, on;

  - OE is still using mozjs 60.9.0:
        https://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded/tree/meta-oe/dynamic-layers/meta-python/recipes-extended/mozjs/mozjs_60.9.0.bb

  - polkit 0.116 (which we currently have) is the last to accept
    mozjs-60; later versions of polkit require more recent versions of
    mozjs: polkit0.117 requires mozjs-68, and 0.118, mozjs-78:
        https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/polkit/polkit/-/blob/0.116/configure.ac#L82
        https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/polkit/polkit/-/blob/0.117/configure.ac#L83
        https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/polkit/polkit/-/blob/0.118/configure.ac#L83

So, I'm all meh... Maybe we'll have to bite the bullet and bump mozjs if
we want to bump polkit (probably a good idea to avoid security issues?
Although there is no known CVE for polkit 0.116:
https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/search/results?form_type=Advanced&results_type=overview&seach_type=all&query=cpe:2.3:a:polkit_project:polkit:0.116:*:*:*:*:*:*:*
which does not mean there is no unknown issue either...)
