I’m looking at an image of an IBM PC on my iPhone (Safari). Is that expected?

    Nope, still IBM. I just checked on my macbook pro (Chrome), same thing. Edit: It works on Safari (macbook pro), but not on my iphone safari.

      Would you mind trying again? I pushed a small change, which may improve the "reliability".

        iPhone with iOS 15.2 user here. It works as stated, first image is a mac, second is a PC/Mac that glitches differently on each refresh.

  Same here, but I found the image flipped randomly over several reloads. Seems the race condition exists in that POC also. Perhaps there's a hardware condition in the authors' particular iDevice that causes it to consistently favor one path.

    Same though once I got it to show the Mac it hasn’t flipped back to the PC (though it does flash briefly when I go directly to https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DavidBuchanan314/ambiguous-png-packer/main/samples/mac_vs_ibm_output.png https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DavidBuchanan314/ambiguous...)

    Gee, seems like this race condition is the kinda thing that would be used in a long chain of exploits to eventually escape and take control. Thankfully the bug is limited to how it's rendered...for now.

    "Seems the race condition exists in that POC also." Not sure whether this was an intentional joke.
