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.

The content view client in Google Chrome prior to 54.0.2840.85 for Android insufficiently validated intent URLs, which allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to start arbitrary activity on the system via a crafted HTML page.
