Project Zero, Google’s own cybersecurity research team, warns of several serious issues with Samsung Exynos modems in a blog post.\u00a0According to the post, the modems have a number of vulnerabilities that could “allow an attacker to remotely compromise a phone without user intervention.”\u00a0They should be considered as \u201cday one vulnerabilities\u201d – that is, requiring immediate correction.<\/p>\n

A total of 18 vulnerabilities were found.\u00a04 of them are so severe that they only require a phone number to access modem data such as phone calls and text messages.\u00a0The remaining 14 are less of a concern as they require access to the carrier’s system or local access to the device.\u00a0However, Project Zero says it does not intend to share more information about them, despite its usual transparency policy.<\/p>\n
