On Monday morning we (Mozilla) detected a very large crash spike affecting #Firefox users on Linux, specifically on an older version of a Debian-based distribution. It turned out to be an interesting bug involving the #Linux kernel and #Google JavaScript code so let me tell you about it. A thread 🧵 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1839669 1/6

    Thank you. I can see your point and I agree. I only disagree with the argument that it isn’t a (sort of) DoS because JS is allowed to do it. I mean most actual DoS attacks are utilizing perfectly normal behaviors, but simply in abnormal volumes - which seems to be a point here.
