Basically, a buffer doesn't have its size checked in an obscure library - this has been known since 2006; Said code was used by Sony. It leads to memory corruption which can be used to disable protections in the kernel and eventually lead to shell code running on a socket that can receive arbitrary code.

In-depth look at the code here:



PS4 is featured prominently, but the repo does mention PS5.

Instructions unclear; dick stuck in toaster now.

You want to hack your console so you can add new features to the fabric of the console.

Dang. Just sold my PS4 the other day. I hadn't used it in a long time, maybe it was out of date enough.

Anyway, emulators will have an edge over Jailbreaks as usual.
