There seems to be some confusion on the authors' behalf about what a DSP is, and what an SoC is ("software" on chip, as they call it...) I'm just nitpicking, of course.
I think you have a point here. When they say "DSP chip" instead of "DSP core inside the Snapdragon chip" it makes me wonder what else they got wrong. I don't think the oversimplified language is any more approachable here.
(As it happens I read the slides and this is a legit vulnerability but you'd never know it from the press release.)
