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.

The content renderer client in Google Chrome prior to 54.0.2840.85 for Android insufficiently enforced the Same Origin Policy amongst downloaded files, which allowed a remote attacker to access any downloaded file and interact with sites, including those the user was logged into, via a crafted HTML page.
