(i) I would say that if matching Android is affected, B2G is.

We are on our own for this. If we can pull some fix from an Android device, we can fix it. Otherwise ... And the customization depends on what you target. There should not be that much of changes at HAL level, but there might be some differences, though. > > Thanks, > > Émeric > > > [1] > https://www.checkpoint.com/downloads/resources/quadRooter-vulnerability-research-report.pdf > _______________________________________________ > dev-fxos mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-fxos > _______________________________________________ dev-fxos mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-fxos
