                Only on the latest device thats still updated but on pre-2017 = NSA says hi!. Eitherway this is just software so it can still be bypassed since its a hardware level flaw.

                    Samsung phones have been patched since Dec 2020 & new phones since Jan 2021. This Security Vulnerability affected many phone manufactures using Qualcomm Modems, including but not limited to iphones, Galaxy phones, Oppo, Xiome ect. Kudos to Apple & Samsung for providing Fix/Patch since 2020/2021.

                      Since patched models are not listed, we can assume Galaxy S21 US model still not patched as of now...

                            This only affected Qualcomm chipsets? Or did it also affect any Mediatek or Exynos ones?

                                  So at the least four months is hardly impressive...
