There is not an universal definition for a ship stopper bug. Typically such bug prevents product from meeting some of quality metrics used as exit gates. In most cases it is either a serious issue in functionality of the product or some compliance to government or similar legal regulations. For example, Windows team would mark a bug as a ship stopper if it would cause a crash of Windows during boot. Another example, test team identifies that a product uses an encryption algorithm not approved by a government of a particular country.
Actually, I belive there is a clear definition which is derivative from the name "ship stopper"
Ship stopper - A product flaw, such as a software bug in a source code, that is significant enough to prevent releasing the product to manufacturing or, if already manufactured, to prevent shipping the product to consumers.
