Vulnerability
The vulnerability is in Sony's exFAT implementation where there is an integer truncation from 64bit to 32bit on a size variable that is used to allocate the up-case table:
Code:
int UVFAT_readupcasetable(void *unused, void *fileSystem) {

size_t size = sectorSize + dataLength - 1;
size = size - size % sectorSize;
uint8_t *data = sceFatfsCreateHeapVl(0, size);
...
while (1) {
...
UVFAT_ReadDevice(fileSystem, offset, sectorSize, data);
...
data += sectorSize;
...
}
