Not patching swiftshader bugs in swiftshader feels inexcusable and makes that whole component look like a huge security vulnerability. It's weird that this post mentions it multiple times but never explains why it's not getting fixed.

It's short-staffed and there's few community contributors. It's really unfortunate for a really foundational piece of infrastructure for Chrome, Android, and more.

Is it really true that those bugs aren't getting fixed? There's a commit on July 18th to SwiftShader that seems to be addressing exactly the bug described in this report:

An author of this report made that commit. It's good to see work like this.
