Swift at Apple: Migrating the TrueType hinting interpreter

TrueType is a widely used vector font standard for rendering text in web pages, PDFs, operating systems, and applications. Familiar fonts like Helvetica, Garamond, and Monaco are all built on TrueType outlines. The format specifies a hinting interpreter intended to help outlines rasterize faithfully on low-resolution displays. Modern high-resolution displays enable beautiful typography from outlines alone, but TrueType fonts that need hinting to render legibly remain in use and we continue to support them. Font parsers process data from untrusted sources, making the TrueType hinting interpreter a security-critical attack surface. To make the format more resilient on Apple platforms, we rewrote its hinting interpreter from C to memory-safe

Twenty One Zero-Days in FFmpeg

depthfirst's production autonomous security agent discovered 21 zero-day vulnerabilities in FFmpeg, after intensive security analysis by Google and Anthropic. Moving beyond theoretical analysis, our agent produces concrete, reproducible PoC inputs to confirm its findings at a fraction of the costs ($1k vs. $10k). Several of the findings had been sitting latent for 15 to 20 years. We explored the exploitability of the issues and developed a PoC demonstrating a RCE exploit primitive.

H.R. 6028 would fundamentally change the U.S. Copyright Office
