We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all
reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago
and there have been many changes in Ubuntu and Chromium since that time.
Ubuntu 12.10 (quantal) reached end-of-life on May 16, 2014.
Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported using
currently supported versions of Chromium and Ubuntu? Please let us know
if you do otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately
60 days time.
Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.

Title:
Opening a web page causes a binary file to be immediately and
automatically downloaded
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Opening the link below causes a file "x32cxf" to be immediately and
automatically downloaded:
http://techrights.org/2010/02/17/choice-versus-condition/
No action is needed by the user to cause the download other than
opening the web page. It happens every time the page is opened,
though sometimes the page closes itself.
This should not happen under any circumstances. Firefox can open the
page without downloading the file. I have no idea if or how this can
be exploited but automatic download seems like a very major security
risk.
