The Pixel 6(pro) and 7(pro) have a security vulnerability in the baseband that allows for remote code execution at the baseband level.

Google has already released a fix for the pixel 7 and 7 pro but not for the 6 or 6 pro yet.

Google said to mitigate the vulnerability for the time being to disable Wi-Fi calling and VoLTE.

The issue is, Google removed the ability to disable VoLTE a year or two ago.

Additionally, even if I were to disable VoLTE then I would not be able to use my phone as a phone because the US doesn't have any 2G or 3G live anymore so VoLTE and VoNR are the only ways to make calls these days and I don't have 5G in my city so VoNR isn't an option.

Apparently all that's required to pull off privileged remote code execution is to know the target's phone number

@sjw So basically all that shit about Tensor Security Core was marketing wank. Figures.

@splitshockvirus @sjw "MY GRAPHE OS PIXIL 7 IS SO SECURE BRO, DONT BUY A PINEPHONE BRO"

@dcc @sjw

Still not buying a pinephone

Also this probably doesn't affect graphene OS because graphene OS wifi calling doesn't work to begin with

@splitshockvirus @sjw it affects all os

@dcc @sjw

Then it's a hardware issue, not a software issue.

You just do this. However wifi-calling is a requirement for me currently. Because again I have no reception in my house.
