Η Project Zero, η ομάδα ασφαλείας της Google, εντόπισε ορισμένα μεγάλα προβλήματα στα μόντεμ της Samsung που τροφοδοτούν συσκευές όπως το Pixel 6, το Pixel 7 και ορισμένα μοντέλα των Galaxy S22 και A53.
According with a post on her blog, several different Exynos modems have security holes that could "allow an attacker to remotely compromise a phone at the root level without requiring any user interaction." All it takes is the victim's phone number. And apparently Samsung is taking a long time to fix it security gap.
The team also warns that experienced hackers could exploit the issue and reports that the security update Μαρτίου για τα Pixels θα επιδιορθώσει το πρόβλημα — αν και η ενημέρωση δεν είναι ακόμη διαθέσιμη για τα Pixel 6, 6 Pro και 6a. Οι ερευνητές αναφέρουν ότι οι παρακάτω συσκευές κινδυνεύουν:
Mobile devices from Samsung, Galaxy S22, M33, M13, M12, A71, A53, A33, A21, A13, A12 and A04 series
Mobile devices from Vivo, S16, S15, S6, X70, X60 and X30 series
any other mobile device that uses it chipset Exynos W920 and any vehicles using the Exynos Auto T5123 chipset.
Please note that vulnerable devices must be using one of the affected Samsung modems.
For many S22 owners, this could be a relief as phones sold outside of Europe and in some African countries have a Qualcomm processor and use Qualcomm modems. So they must be safe from these particular problems. However, phones with Exynos processors, such as the popular A53 and the European S22, are vulnerable.
