Recently a security researcher found a vulnerabilities in the WebKit rendering engine used by Safari which will crash / restart your MacOS / iOS devices. Ironically, since Apple forces all browsers / HTML capable apps in the AppStore to use the WebKit, it will most likely crash any apps that capable of loading a web page.
The vulnerability can be exploited by loading a simple web page with a specially crafted CSS code that create a backdrop-filter effect to a series of nested DIV segments. The backdrop-filter is a relatively new CSS property that works by blurring or colour shifting the area behind an element. It is a heavy processing task which by rendering of this effect takes a toll on iOS graphic processing library.
Apple has been notified of this vulnerability and are investigating it. Meanwhile, please be careful before clicking any link.
