  Indeed. Who the hell thought it was a great idea for the modem baseband device to have unlimited direct memory access to the host processor memory space? I mean, especially when the baseband firmware can usually be remotely updated by the network with zero user interaction?!

      https://www.usenix.org/system/files/conference/woot12/woot12-final24.pdf https://www.usenix.org/system/files/conference/woot12/woot12... If you want more, literally google “baseband attack host processor memory” or “baseband exploits DMA” or “baseband exploits memory”.
