A bug newly discovered in Google Chrome is that if you enter a specific 16 characters in the address bar and hit enter key, or hover over the 16 character link address, the browser aborts. I discovered this bugAndris Attekaさんで、彼は「『http://biome3d.com/%%30%30』という26文字がバグを引き起こす」としていたのですが、テクノロジー系ニュースサイトのVentureBeatが調査したところ、実際には「http://a/%%30%30」という16文字だけでChromeをクラッシュさせることが可能であることが明らかになっています。

このバグは記事作成時点で最新版となっているGoogle Chromeのバージョン「45.0.2454.99 m」以前で起きるもので、実際に「http://a/%%30%30」「http://biome3d.com/%%30%30」という文字列をアドレスバーに入力したりマウスオーバーしたりするとGoogle Chromeがクラッシュしてしまう様子は以下のムービーで見られます。

Atteka already got Google about the bugreport, And Google developers say "I judge this as not a security bug and I will leave it as it is". Also, although Google pays a reward to users who have found security holes, Atteka seems to have not received a reward because the bug found this time was "not a security hole".

なお、バグは現在も残ったままなので、WindowsもしくはMacからGoogle Chromeを起動してアドレスバーに「http://a/%%30%30」と入力してエンターを押すか、以下のリンク先にある「http://biome3d.com/%%30%30」というリンクアドレスにマウスオーバーすればクラッシュする瞬間を体感できます。

However, there seems to be a mixture of bugs and bugs in iOS and Android versions of Chrome apps, so there is a report that app crashes when tapping a link with "45.0.2454.94" for Android version.
