Are firefox bugs cross platform?



I use Ubuntu and last firefox version.


I opened an image with firefox, and a crash occurred.


Let's assume it's a crafted jpg to run an exploit, and execute arbitrary code.


To sum up: (1) Firefox opens a crafted JPG ->(2) Firefox crashes ->(3) Arbitrary code try to run


--


Step 3: According to Are exploits platform dependent?, exploits are platform dependent.


My question is about step 2: A bug is the origin of the crash. The crafted jpg uses this bug.


Can crash occurs on every platform ? If yes, so it will be harmful only for one OS ?


Thank you
