Bugs in Qualcomm chips leaked private data from Samsung and LG phones

Researchers have disclosed a set of vulnerabilites affecting Qualcomm chipsets that could allow a potential attacker to steal critical information. The findings — published by cybersecurity vendor Check Point Research — reveal the ‘secure world’ present in Qualcomm CPUs, that powers most Android phones, suffer from a flaw which may “lead to leakage of protected data, device rooting, bootloader unlocking, and execution of undetectable APTs [Advanced Persistent Threats].” The findings were originally revealed by Checkpoint at REcon Montreal earlier this June, a computer security conference with a focus on reverse engineering and advanced exploitation techniques. Qualcomm has since issued fixes…
