If you look at CVEs in Android a lot of them are tied to proprietary Qualcomm binaries. Its crazy how your GPU driver can be exploited to get root access.
If Qualcomm wasn’t so dependent on their vendor kernel that ships with tons of binary blobs it would be lot more secure.
Proprietary software is not free (libre) software. Qualcomm is they only one who can actually patch there proprietary software and because the system is a black box. It is impossible to know how flawed the system could be.
Your post and comments contradict each other - what are you trying to say?
My post says that Qualcomm proprietary binaries are bad for security.
I did edit it for clarity
Your title says libre software is bad for security
You are right
I meant this as reasons to use free software but it got lost in translation
Yeah what you posted is literally the opposite of what I guess you were trying to say
Its still worded as if libre software is the problem.
“Closed source proprietary software is bad for security” or something - its the fact the code is unauditable is the issue
