CVE-2016-1784
The History implementation in WebKit in Apple iOS before 9.3, Safari before 9.1, and tvOS before 9.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource consumption and application crash) via a crafted web site.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.36%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
