Excuse me for changing the title of your essay. I should not do that.

The title was just my opinion. Some days ago, I read the excellent newsletter [1] of Filippo Valsorda about a Telegram's bug [2]. Yesterday, I googled for bugdoors and read about them and found this Apple's bug and your excellent essay (with many useful hyperlinks) about it.

Thank you so much!

This was obviously a merge error.

I think that's very likely, but I've never seen a post mortum from Apple where they track down what happened.

I wish they would be more open about what happened. Mistakes happen. It's better for the industry if we can all learn from them.
