The denial of service condition persists efficiently with the reported version.

When this vulnerability is triggered , following output is undertaken:

1. The browser gets in locked state and becomes unresponsive. The user
can not perform any operation
2. It is not only restricted to single tab but it impacts all the opened windows.
