It does. Your app will get killed. The OS will be fine.

My understanding is this bug uses up GPU memory/contexts, not normal system RAM, and that’s why it becomes an issue.

Ohh.. sneaky: a GPU DoS.

Yeah. Of course it shouldn’t be possible, but I guess no one had thought of it before or they thought the risk was too low because they figured you’d have to make an app to do it not some random HTML on a webpage.
