Check Point Software Technologies has counted 400 flaws in Qualcomms Digital Signal Processor – known as Hexagon DSP – that’s present in all Snapdragon systems-on-chip. The chip is used in more than 40% of smartphones, including devices shipped by Samsung, Google, LG, OnePlus, Xiaomi and others. Check Point has dubbed the security flaws “Achilles” because the flaws on the small chip pose outsize peril. Qualcomm says patches are on the way and so far it’s seen no signs of the flaws being exploited in the wild.”]
