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 prior to 54.0 for iOS had insufficient validation of URLs for windows open by DOM, which allowed a remote attacker to bypass restrictions on navigation to certain URL schemes via crafted HTML pages.
