## Description

Use-after-free vulnerability in the Document::finishedParsing function in core/dom/Document.cpp in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 29.0.1547.57, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via an onload event that changes an IFRAME element so that its src attribute is no longer an XML document, leading to unintended garbage collection of this document.

## 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.
