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.

ios/web/web_state/ui/crw_web_controller.mm in Google Chrome before 52.0.2743.82 on iOS does not ensure that an invalid URL is replaced with the about:blank URL, which allows remote attackers to spoof the URL display via a crafted web site.
