CVE-2017-5422: Input Validation
First published: Tue Mar 07 2017(Updated: )
If a malicious site uses the view-source: protocol in a series within a single hyperlink, it can trigger a non-exploitable browser crash when the hyperlink is selected. This was fixed by no longer making view-source: linkable.
