PS4 4.55 WebKit Exploit Documentation Write-up by SpecterDev
Since his 4.05 PS4 Exploit, related Documentation, release of the full 4.55 PS4 Jailbreak and 4.55 PS4 Holy Grail homebrew enabler today PlayStation 4 developer @SpecterDev made available via Twitter his 4.55 WebKit exploit write-up for the "setAttributeNodeNS()" bug so other scene devs and enthusiasts can learn from it. 
Here's an excerpt from the complete setAttributeNodeNS UAF Write-up.md file, to quote: Conclusion
For a seasoned webkit attacker, this bug is trivial to exploit. For non-seasoned ones such as myself however, working with WebKit to leverage a read/write primitive from WebCore heap corruption can be confusing and challenging.
I hope through this write-up that it can help other researchers new to webkit to understand a bit of the magic that happens behind webkit exploitation, as without understanding fundamental data structures such as JSObjects and JSValues, it can be difficult to make sense of what's happening.
This is why I focused the core of the write-up on going from heap corruption to obtaining a read/write primitive, and how type confusion with internal objects can be used to achieve it.
In the next section (yet to be published), we will cover the kernel exploit portion of the 4.55 jailbreak chain. While this WebKit exploit will work on 5.02 and lower, the kernel exploit will only work on firmware 4.55 and lower.

PS Plus Games for March 2018 and Additional Service Changes
Headlining March 2018's PS Plus free games lineup are Bloodborne and Ratchet & Clank, which will be available next week among the rest of the new content as detailed below.
Here's James Hallahan of PlayStation Plus with some additional service changes and what else is coming to PS Plus in March, to quote:
Starting next year on March 8, 2019, the PS Plus monthly games lineup will focus on PS4 titles and no longer include PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita titles. This won’t affect any games you’ve already downloaded, or will download, prior to March 8, 2019.
Those games will still be part of your PS Plus games library as long as you remain a member. Your game saves and other benefits of PS Plus will also remain the same – the only change is that no new PS3 and PS Vita games will be added to the PS Plus monthly games lineup beyond March 8, 2019.
Many of our fans are playing on the PS4 platform, with the increasingly vast number of PS4s in homes around the world. We’ll continue to prioritize the benefits you receive through your PS Plus membership, such as online multiplayer, online game save storage, PS4 monthly games, and exclusive PS Store discounts across content and network services.
As a reminder, if you do not wish to continue your subscription, please be sure to cancel it by turning off auto-renewal in your account settings before March 8, 2019.
