## Description

Stack consumption vulnerability in the ChildProcessSecurityPolicy::CanRequestURL function in browser/child_process_security_policy.cc in Google Chrome before 4.0.249.78 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption and application crash) via a URL that specifies multiple protocols, as demonstrated by a URL that begins with many repetitions of the view-source: substring.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on n/a, no fixed version is listed yet; follow the vendor advisory per the references below.
