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 RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

Google Chrome before 52.0.2743.82 mishandles origin information during proxy authentication, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof a proxy-authentication login prompt or trigger incorrect credential storage by modifying the client-server data stream.
