Check Point Research today revealed a flaw in commonly used Qualcomm SoCs, which was especially concerning. It might potentially enable a malicious app to patch Qualcomm's MSM modem chips' firmware, allowing it access to call and text history and even recording conversations. The problem is broken down in a highly technical manner by Check Point. To put it another way, bugs were discovered in the connections between the modem's Qualcomm Modem Interface ( QMI) software layer and the debugger service, enabling it to dynamically repair the software and circumvent the normal protection measures. Standard third-party applications may not have protection rights to reach QMI, however this assault might be used if further important features of Android were violated.
