Sure -- fortunately on most Intel and AMD CPUs you have some level of control in isolating the host from mobile carriers and those acting as mobile carriers.

- kllrnohj 9y agoMobile carriers do not write or sign the baseband. You're at the whim of the hardware manufacturer in both cases (Intel CPUs & Qualcomm basebands).
- subway 9y agoI'm pretty sure in the case of at least Qualcomm, the carrier can do a heckuva lot more. Most snapdragon SoCs support a pretty hefty subset of OMA-DM at the baseband level, allowing for execution of arbitrary 'apps' on the baseband, by the carrier. Throw in any vulnerability in that baseband stack, and now attackers have a very direct path to system memory.
