NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream chromium-browser package and not the chromium-browser package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

The Service Workers subsystem in Google Chrome before 52.0.2743.82 does not properly implement the Secure Contexts specification during decisions about whether to control a subframe, which allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy via an https IFRAME element inside an http IFRAME element.
