This is quite freaky. Not surprising, but freaky nontheless. I do wonder though if the vurnerability is really new or that the companies already knew about this.
Looks like it's a brand new exploit.

Or to quote one of the commenters there:
It seems that this could become quite a problem. I'm curious how the infrastructure providers will deal with this.The more cynical outlook would be that the baseband firmware has been reverse engineered and broken long ago, the fruits of this effort kept from being aired due to the high price they could command on the black market
