Integer underflow in net/base/escape.cc in chrome.dll in Google Chrome 0.2.149.27 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (browser crash) via a URI with an invalid handler followed by a "%" (percent) character, which triggers a buffer over-read, as demonstrated using an "about:%" URI.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Google Chrome browser crash issue affecting version 0.2.149.27. A specially formed URI could crash the browser, causing denial of service for that user. The provided sources do not show data theft, code execution, or active exploitation. Exposure is likely limited to systems still running Google Chrome 0.2.149.27 or archived test images containing that build. Modern supported Chrome deployments are not identified as affected in the provided sources. Treat this as low business urgency unless legacy browser builds are still present. The main impact is user-level browser disruption, not confirmed compromise, but unsupported browsers should be removed as a hygiene issue. Mitigation focus: Identify and remove Google Chrome 0.2.149.27 from managed systems.; Upgrade any affected browser to a supported vendor-maintained release.; Retire old portable browser copies in test labs and legacy images..
