"Android Users Beware: Security Risks Lurk in Wi-Fi Calling and Unpatched Chipset Vulnerabilities"
Google's Project Zero team has warned Android users to turn off Wi-Fi calling due to security concerns related to multiple vulnerabilities found in Exynos chipsets made by Samsung. Hackers can remotely compromise certain Android phones with four vulnerabilities that allow "Internet-to-baseband remote code execution." The remaining 14 vulnerabilities were determined to be "not as severe." Devices that may be affected include Samsung Galaxy and Vivo series, Google Pixel 6 and 7, and some vehicles. Users can protect themselves by turning off Wi-Fi calling and Voice-over-LTE (VoLTE) or updating their phones as soon as new patches and software are made available.
