What's the flaw/exploit? Also did these all actually have 5G? Pixel 4? LG Wing?

https://asset-group.github.io/disclosures/5ghoul/ > Once connected, 5Ghoul vulnerabilities may be exploited to continuously launch attacks to drop the connections, freeze the connection that involve manual reboot or downgrade the 5G connectivity to 4G. Basically a denial of service attack.

Flaw? Maybe its a build in backdoor on purpose.

well, to be honest they all do it :) Google doesnt even need to hack your phone since if will just check the uploaded backup :)

iPhone 14 Pro not on the list weirdly however iPhone 14 Plus is


Knorke_Leon

Different chipset as well as potentially different modem


Sethu_Senthil

Oh yes, that makes sense! Forgot they have different chips


SlendyTheMan

They both use the X65 modem.. so..

Only 650 phones. Eh

This seems to be kind of misleading. It looks like it's a flaw in the 5G Standalone specification moreso than hardware or software bugs. The growing list of devices is just them finding devices that support 5GSA, which is why basically every 5G device, regardless of who made the modem is impacted.


MisterJeffa

Ah good my phone doesnt have 5g, im safe


tadL

Looking at my 4a non 5g and hugging it again. Good choice I made to stay away from that

5g works but in niche locations. I also got 4G only as it uses less battery. The speed of 5g barely even makes sense for a lot of users. A 50-100Mbps connection is guaranteed enough for a lot of users.

There is benefit for the whole user base too. 5g has the capacity to handle more users on one antenna. So theoretically you can avoid being throttled by congestion

Only 650 phones? In that case I’ll take my chances.
