It's only useful as a persistent exploit vector if it has persistence. If I was designing this, it'd be simpler to have it boot off an image downloaded from the main SoC rather than giving it its own flash.
- bri3d 9y agoGood point - if it's just got firmware uploaded from the SoC, it's more of an escalation / memory protection bypass vector versus a persistence vector. I also wonder what gets sent across to it - for example, if a malicious video from the web could land on the coprocessor. Mostly it's just fun seeing more and more co-processing devices arrive in phones as they get broken :)
