Originally Published 2 years ago — by Android Central

Samsung has released security patches for several vulnerabilities affecting certain Exynos modems and chips, including the Wi-Fi calling vulnerability that exposed recent Galaxy phones and other Android handsets to internet-to-baseband remote code execution. The patches were released as part of the March 2023 security update, and another security patch will be released in April to address the remaining vulnerability. The affected Exynos modems were found in many of the top Samsung phones, as well as Google's recent flagship phones and recent Vivo models. Users of affected devices should download and install the latest security update.

Google Discovers Severe Vulnerabilities in Samsung Exynos Chipsets.

Originally Published 2 years ago — by 9to5Google

Google's Project Zero team discovered severe 0-day vulnerabilities with the Samsung Exynos modems used on the Pixel 6 and 7, Samsung phones and wearables, and other devices that warrant disabling VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling until patched. Four of the vulnerabilities involve internet-to-baseband remote code execution, allowing an attacker to remotely compromise a phone at the baseband level with no user interaction. Google advises users to turn off Wi-Fi calling and VoLTE until security updates are available. Project Zero is delaying disclosure for the four vulnerabilities due to the high level of access they provide and the speed with which a reliable operational exploit could be crafted.
