Solo: A Pixel 6 Pro Story (When one bug is all you need) During my internship I was tasked to analyze a Mali GPU exploit on Pixel 7/8 devices and adapt it to make it work on another device: the Pixel 6 Pro. While the exploit process itself is relatively straightforward to reproduce (in theory we just need to find the correct symbol offsets and signatures for our target device), what’s interesting about Pixel 6 Pro is that it uses a different Mali GPU from the Pixel 7/8, which lacked support for a feature that one of the two vulnerabilities within the exploit relied on: https://starlabs.sg/blog/2025/06-solo-a-pixel-6-pro-story-when-one-bug-is-all-you-need/
