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?!

If you want more, literally google “baseband attack host processor memory” or “baseband exploits DMA” or “baseband exploits memory”.
