Gal Beniamini of Google Project Team says-

"The exploit gains code execution on the Wi-Fi firmware on the iPhone 7,".
"Upon successful execution of the exploit, a backdoor is inserted into the firmware, allowing remote read/write commands to be issued to the firmware via crafted action frames, thus allowing easy remote control over the Wi-Fi chip," - he further added.

 What Bad in this?
