Security flaws have, however, just been found in Samsung-made chips, and severe ones at that.<\/p>\n<p>Google\u2019s Project Zero reported a total of eighteen zero-day vulnerabilities in Exynos modems made by Samsung between late 2022 and early 2023. The four most severe ones can allow for Internet-to-baseband remote code execution, letting malicious actors compromise a smartphone with no input required from a user \u2014 all a hacker needs is a user\u2019s phone number. The fourteen other ones also allow for remote code execution, but aren\u2019t as severe, as they need either a complicit carrier or physical access to the device.<\/p>\n<p>These vulnerabilities affect a wide range of devices, particularly, Samsung smartphones powered by Exynos chips, such as the European model of the Galaxy S22. Thankfully, Samsung decided to drop the use of Exynos this year, so newer phones like the Galaxy S23 aren\u2019t affected. However, Google\u2019s latest Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 smartphones are affected, since they\u2019re powered by Samsung-made chips (the Google Tensor SoCs are designed and made by Samsung and are pretty much just Exynos variants).<\/p>\n<p>As of the time of writing, no fix is available for any of these issues, so in the meantime, you should turn off things like VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling if you don\u2019t want to be affected.<\/p>\n<p><small>Source: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/redirect.viglink.com\/?key=e7eab128eb8d1c53e14db14f4c632447&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fgoogleprojectzero.blogspot.com%2F2023%2F03%2Fmultiple-internet-to-baseband-remote-rce.html&amp;cuid=xid:{xid}&amp;___trxnet=vg\">Google<\/a><\/small><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .entry-content --><br \/>\n<!-- .entry-footer --><\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
