Tech giant Apple is in the process of creating a fix for a JavaScript code that was reportedly crashing browsers on its platform. Apple has already warned its users to be wary of a link that will direct them into a specific website that will crash not only their Safari browser but also their device.

It appears that the culprit of this newly discovered bug is the aptly named CrashSafari.com website. Once users click the link, they will be redirected to that website which contains a JavaScript code that puts browsers into a continuous loop, according to PC Mag.

Once opened, the website will generate massive amounts of self-generating text strings which populates the browser's address bar. While generating these text strings, it also eats smartphone resources like RAM and once the device runs out of it and is unable to properly address requests, it will reboot.

The website's loop also generates so much requests that it causes the smartphone to heat up as it tries to handle all the codes from the site.

Some users report that similar thing happens to iPads when it tries to open the malicious webpage. On the other hand, devices running on the Android platform and uses Chrome when accessing the website can cause the browser to become sluggish.

Some users suggested a simple workaround of rebooting their iPhone in order to fix the issue. For Android Chrome users, forcing the app to quit can also clear the problem.

According to The Guardian, the same issue was reported on desktop and laptop computers, although the degree of damage depends on their processor speed and other hardware specifications.

Opening the website using a Safari on Mac will cause the browser to crash. Desktop versions of Google Chrome for Mac and Windows PC suffers serious sluggishness when it they try to open the website.

Just like the Power Text Message bug, some mischievous users try to disguise the website as a non-malicious link and send it to some unknowing users which will eventually crash the system of the latter.

For now, Apple has yet to release a permanent patch in order to fix the issue. Should users accidently accessed the website and experience serious processing problems, a simple reboot will fix it.
