Why This is a Serious Cybersecurity Concern?
The flaw can lead to memory corruption, application crashes, or even arbitrary code execution by a hacker.
🚀 Google Patches Qualcomm WLAN Vulnerability (CVE-2024-45569)
Apart from the USB driver exploit, Google has also patched a critical vulnerability in Qualcomm's WLAN component (CVE-2024-45569), which has a CVSS score of 9.8. This flaw could allow attackers to compromise your device's wireless network, leading to man-in-the-middle attacks, data interception, or system crashes.
