PS5 Remote Kernel Heap Overflow by M00nbsd, Patched in 9.03 PS4 Firmware
Proceeding his SMAP Bypass PS5 Vulnerability disclosed last year, security researcher m00nbsd announced via Twitter today the disclosure of a PlayStation 5 Remote Kernel Heap Overflow Vulnerability on PlayStation Bug Bounty site HackerOne.com which affects PlayStation 5 consoles up to 4.03 PS5 Firmware alongside PlayStation 4 consoles through 9.00 PS4 Firmware. 
While this latest PlayStation H1 disclosure has already been patched by Sony in both PS5 4.50 Firmware and PS4 9.03 Firmware, since the 9.00 PS4 Jailbreak Exploit release developer @SpecterDev on Twitter reminds the PS4Scene that:
"PPPoE bug patch in PS4. As can be seen, patched in 9.03 on the right. Probably not worth attempting to exploit this on PS4 as it won't move firmware forward. Also probably would end up less stable than exFAT exploit because mbuf zone corruption kinda sucks."
