        Please let it work on Snapdragon 695. I have this old Realme phone that I need to root real bad. Sadly the manufacturer won't allow me to root it :(
        Realme I want my money back right now!
        Xiaomi forever!

            Where can I find this 0-day vulnerability exploit proof of concept (PoC)? I urgently need it so I can finally root my damn realme phone which doesn't even allow bootloader unlock by default. Never again realme for me. Only Xiaomi from now on...

                Anonymous, 10 Oct 2024So, you didn't read the article?reading it changed nothing. It's a zero-day bug.

                "A zero-day is a vulnerability in software or hardware that is typically unknown to the vendor and for which no patch or other fix is available."

                That means people have been attacked already.

                        Anonymous, 10 Oct 2024So, mr old man (based on you're picture) 1. What do... moreThis is a chipset level vulnerability, so unless the whole OS is upgraded, it's unlikely to be mitigated.

                        This requires from Qualcom and google change to the AOSP.

                        Unless your custom ROM comes from uptated AOSP sources with the aforementioned fixes, it is unlikely to change anything.

                        What's the custom ROM that does this? GrapheneOS. But that's only for Google Pixel devices.
