The attack is just four lines of code that can crash both Safari or Chrome browser, or reboot the entire phone itself. It even works against some desktop browsers.
It leverages HTML5's history.pushState, a JavaScript function used by many single page applications to update the address bar, even though the underlying page being viewed does not change.
