What does jailbreaking have to do with memory safety? I thought the cpu that will only boot signed binaries was the end of jailbreaking

I, for one, would appreciate a device that isn't riddled with memory bugs that are exploitable principally by nation states; one might say buggy code is the backdoor free software folk are so paranoid about

Most jailbreaks and rooting software rely on some exploitable bugs to gain their initial foothold and install/modify files onto the system.
