Samsung phones have been patched since Dec 2020 & new phones since Jan 2021. This Security Vulnerability affected many phone manufactures using Qualcomm Modems, including but not limited to iphones, Galaxy phones, Oppo, Xiome ect. Kudos to Apple & Samsung for providing Fix/Patch since 2020/2021.

Since patched models are not listed, we can assume Galaxy S21 US model still not patched as of now...

Anonymous, 10 May 2021This only affected Qualcomm chipsets? Or did it also affect any Mediatek or Exynos ones?This particular vulnerability affects the Qualcomm MSM Interface - the interface used by the main CPU to communicate with the modem - so yes, only Snapdragons are affected.

"Samsung has already patched ...."
Seriously "already"? The previous article told
"Qualcomm has already provided software fixes for the MSM exploit back in December 2020"
So at the least four months is hardly impressive...
