Konqueror 2.3.1 and Firefox 2.0a1 don't appear to be vulnerable. Be nice to hear about Opera and IE. On Wednesday 26 April 2006 07:41, jens () mac com wrote:
All this does is cause Safari to allocate oodles of memory. It won't crash or hang the OS, just cause it to slow down due to VM paging. Wait a bit and the force-quit alert will appear (and/or Safari will crash when it runs out of address space.) Seems more of an annoyance than an actual security problem. How do Firefox, IE and Opera respond?
