Data capture possibility in phone call

Hi Experts!

             I just wanted to know your opinion on a scenario of capturing the user's data. Here is the scenario:

A user is working on some financial transaction related query into his bank account and just he login into his internet banking portal on mobile and at the same time a  vulnerable call  with unknown number ringed his phone and the user received this call. Is it possible to capture the user's mobile traffic data during  this call duration?

There are multiple possible attack vectors here: the SS7 network itself as well as the phone and its various subsystems.
Specially crafted SMS or radio broadcast packets could be potentially used to compromise a device and data could be exfiltrated.
Maybe not with just a phone call specifically but a phone call along with other attack vectors might lead to an exploit of some sort.

We did find an issue in the modem of some phones recently, as described here: https://research.checkpoint.com/2021/security-probe-of-qualcomm-msm/
