Project Zero, Google's team of expert security researchers, has done exactly that with Samsung's Galaxy S6 Edge, devoting a week to find as many serious security holes as they can. As a result, 11 "high-impact security issues" were discovered, including one that lets an attacker write a file to the victim's system without permission.
Most of the holes stem from the device's drivers and image processing;
The team reported its findings to Samsung, which had already patched eight out of 11 of the flaws. The three unpatched issues, which are not as severe as the rest, are due to be fixed in November.
