The BootROM, or SecureROM, is the first code an iPhone runs when it powers on. Because it is baked directly into the chip at manufacture, any vulnerability found there cannot be fixed with a software update, meaning affected devices will remain vulnerable for the rest of their lives.

- page_title: From Chesterton’s fence to Chesterton’s gap | Stéphan Tulkens
- page_description: The English Writer and Christian apologist G. K. Chesterton is, perhaps, most well known to programmers through a paragraph in which he introduces what is now known as “Chesterton’s fence”. It’s a very simple idea: You walk through a field and see a fence which, seemingly, has no purpose. Instead of tearing it down because it seemingly has no use, try to understand or ask why somebody put it there. (1) That’s it! The full quote is: ‘IN the matter of reforming things, as distinct from deforming them, there is one plain and simple principle; a principle which will probably be called a paradox. There exists in such a case a certain institution or law; let us say for the sake of simplicity, a fence or gate erected across a road. The more modern type of reformer goes gaily up to it and says, “I don’t see the use of this; let us clear it away.” To which the more intelligent type of reformer will do well to answer: “If you don’t see the use of it, I certainly won’t let you clear it away. Go away and think. Then, when you can come back and tell me that you do see the use of it, I may allow you to destroy it.”’ [source] &#8617;

Some of them are caused simply by bugs in the program logic (like a recent CVE reported in Cargo), but some of the most nasty ones are caused by memory unsafety, which can easily lead to exploits. In this post I want to focus on the latter kind of CVEs, how they are reported, especially in libraries, and how it differs between Rust and C or C++.

Long story short: now both Sign in with Apple and Hide My Email aliases are going to be issued on the @private.icloud.com subdomain. This makes it much easier to ban all aliases without affecting non-relay mailboxes on iCloud mail.
This is certainly a big hit for iCloud privacy, since some plausible deniability together with Apple&rsquo;s backing made banning iCloud aliases costly.

- page_description: Let&rsquo;s talk about nil pointer checks in Go. You want to prevent panics in production, but that doesn&rsquo;t start with a deferred recover. It starts with defensive programming. Check your inputs, check your bounds, and check pointers for nil before dereferencing them.
I&rsquo;ve started to see more nil checks in Go code. In the right place, they are necessary for writing safe code. In the wrong place, they are a sign that the code has stopped being clear about what can and cannot be nil. I have noticed this pattern more in generated code, but this symptom is not new and is not limited to AI.
