A security researcher who two weeks ago found a bug that could crash all WebKit-based apps on iPhones, iPads, and Macs, has now discovered another browser bug that can crash Firefox browsers, and sometimes the entire operating system underneath it.
The bug is just the latest addition to Browser Reaper, a web portal set up by Sabri Haddouche, a software engineer and security researcher at encrypted instant messaging app Wire.
Haddouche has been researching denial of service (DoS) vulnerabilities as a hobby and has now identified one in every major browser engine --Chrome, Safari (WebKit), and Firefox.
