Google recently revealed several serious active security flaws in Exynos modem chips that could allow hackers to remotely break into phones using just a phone number. The problem concerns or it covered not only Samsung's range of smartphones, but also Vivo and Pixel devices. Although Google has already patched these vulnerabilities in its phones through the March security update, it looks like the device Galaxy are still at risk. However, according to Samsung, they won't be any time soon.

A certain user recently posted on the US Samsung Community Forum contribution regarding the Wi-Fi calling vulnerability. The moderator answered his question that Samsung had already fixed some vulnerabilities in the Exynos modem chips in the March security patch and that the April security patch would bring a fix that solves the Wi-Fi calling vulnerability. The Korean giant should start releasing it in the next few days.

It is not clear why the moderator says that none of the security flaws found in the modem chips of the mentioned Samsung smartphones were serious. Google claims that four of the 18 reported security issues with these chips are serious and could allow hackers to access users' phones. If you own any of the above Samsung phones, you can protect yourself for now by turning off Wi-Fi calling and VoLTE.
