Unlike a security flaw in the ‘User Space’, which can easily be fixed
by Apple through a simple software update in a fairly quick time,
exploits targeting the BootRom address the physical layer (physical ROM,

complicated to fix by Apple as this requires a hardware update and hence
cannot be pushed to existing users.
