Do Linux kernel panics get a HN front page complaint? It's software. > Exactly. T2 is supposed to work as a secure enclave, for instance (see https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208862 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208862). Any bug (especially one causing a kernel crash) related to the T2 chip is potentially a privilege escalation bug, with the potential to enable direct (after decryption) disk access outside of os access control, or the possibility to work around secure boot and boot non-signed kernels, or other problems. Uh, no it's not that simplistic. I think you have a serious misunderstanding of what T2 and bridgeos actually do. It doesn't affect the security.
