CVE-2026-20700: Improved state management in Apple products to resolved a memory corruption issue. (17th Feb 2026)
Preface: Swift is memory-safe by default. Unlike C, your enum and String cannot “overflow” a buffer and crash the app unless you use the Unsafe prefix. Background: Swift is memory-safe by default. Use Enums to represent mutually exclusive states (e.g., loading, success, error) to eliminate “impossible” states. [.]onAppear { manager.fetchData() } will run every time…

AMD ID: AMD-SB-6026 – AMD does not believe that the reported vulnerability exists within the MI3XX GPU designs. (12th Feb 2026)
Preface: The MI3xx series (specifically the AMD Instinct MI300 and MI350 series) is designed and manufactured by AMD. These chips are not traditional graphics cards for gaming; they are high-performance GPU accelerators specifically designed for Generative AI, large-scale AI training, and High-Performance Computing (HPC). Background: In the AMD Instinct MI300A architecture, the cache is technically known as the MALL (Memory Attached Last Level) cache.…

CVE-2026-2242: Vulnerabilities in janet-lang may also affect partner devices. (11th Feb 2026)
Preface: Janet has a small footprint: it fits in environments where 2.5 MB of RAM is considered “plenty”. While Janet does not run on the GPU (it is a CPU-bound language), it is often used as the control/orchestration layer on heterogeneous AI platforms. Because Janet is written in C and compiles to a small binary…
