> If a bogus path like the following is used, resource merger can consume high
> amount of CPU and may lead to Denial of Service:
> {code:xml}
> /mnt/override/mnt/override/mnt/override/mnt/override/mnt/override/mnt/override/mnt/override/mnt/override/mnt/override/mnt/override/mnt/override/mnt/override/mnt/override/mnt/override
> {code}
> *Steps to reproduce*
> # Spawn an AEM author instance and login
> # Open
> [http://localhost:4502/aem/start.html//mnt/override/mnt/override/mnt/override/mnt/override/mnt/override/mnt/override/mnt/override/mnt/override/mnt/override/mnt/override/mnt/override/mnt/override/mnt/override/mnt/override]

> [MergingResourceProvider|https://github.com/apache/sling-org-apache-sling-resourcemerger/blob/master/src/main/java/org/apache/sling/resourcemerger/impl/MergingResourceProvider.java#L164-L174],
> we are calculating the relative path, which is just removing the merge root
> path from from the actual path.
> And this relative path is used for finding the resources under it.
> eg: if path is {{/mnt/override/mnt/override/mnt/override/bin}} then relative
> path will be {{/mnt/override/mnt/override}}
> And because this relative path again starts with {{/mnt/override}} again
> [MergingResourceProvider|https://github.com/apache/sling-org-apache-sling-resourcemerger/blob/master/src/main/java/org/apache/sling/resourcemerger/impl/MergingResourceProvider.java]
> will be picked and same calls will be executed.
