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 Ubuntu.

Google Chrome before 21.0.1180.82 on iOS makes certain incorrect calls to WebView methods that trigger use of an applewebdata: URL, which allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy and conduct Universal XSS (UXSS) attacks via vectors involving the document.write method.
