>> Now, if that's correct, then this is in fact significant, because the baseband processor would not otherwise have such access to the filesystem (since it's not, as I understand it, running in the kernel as a driver). You'd think so... The baseband processor is actually integrated on the die of current gen SoCs from Qualcomm and plenty of the teardowns I've seen for high end phones use them. I haven't used these chips but everything I've read leads me to believe that there is a lot more integration between the radio and processor (that's the point)... and as a result, a larger attack surface.
