“With heavy use of devices exposed to the vulnerability, the operating system crashes as well. Even worse, under certain conditions, we managed to get devices into a repeatable reboot cycle, rendering them useless.

So it only crashed the whole device if the device was under 'heavy use', which seems to contradict the claim that it renders devices unusable immediately.

Shame, though. I'd love a guerrilla enforcement tactic for the Quiet Carriage on our local trains.
