Bug in Chrome

[WereCat]

There is bug in chrome when you enter /%%300 in a adress it will freeze and crash. (In Opera too).

For example http://linustechtips/%%300.com/

 

 

EDIT: 

Friend discovered that if you post link with that on the FB then everyone who opens that page with Chrome will crash due to Chrome trying to preload it. Ha!

Copy the adress. For some reason when I click on it here the adress changes to something else. (http://linustechtips/%2500.com/)

Looks like it's related to this:

http://it.slashdot.org/story/15/09/19/1731242/crash-chrome-with-16-characters

 

Seems that the "16 characters" in this article should unescape to "/%%300", but that is also crashing the engine. It's reported to work on Opera as well.

Thats an older version, update to a newer one.

 

Is that a canary build?

Yeah, updated to the latest version to double check the problem. On the old version (Forgot to note the version) It give a message, this version just crashes it without messages, as if you pressed the close button.

Probably just till they send out the update to my region, good to hear the fix is coming though.

Also crash Vivaldi. So this is a Chromium issue.

 

Doesn't affect Firefox at all though.
