PS4 3.11 Out of Bound Read (Freetype 64bit Exploit) via Dragood2
Despite Sony releasing PS4 Firmware 3.15 last night, dragood2 recently uncovered a PS4 3.11 Out of Bound Read (Freetype 64bit Exploit) that reportedly isn't patched in System Software Update 3.15.

Download: 38662.zip (Proof of Concept) / Source Code

Below are the details, although the usefulness of this has yet to be determined by PS4 developers, to quote:

The following heap-based out-of-bounds memory read has been encountered in FreeType. It has been reproduced with the current version of freetype2 from master git branch, with a 64-bit build of the ftbench utility compiled with AddressSanitizer:
Code: 
$ ftbench <file>
Attached are three POC files which trigger the conditions.
Code: 
---
$ freetype2-demos/bin/ftbench asan_heap-oob_783b6f_6837_eb01136f859a0091cb61f7beccd7059b

ftbench results for font `asan_heap-oob_783b6f_6837_eb01136f859a0091cb61f7beccd7059b'

PS4 Dev Hitodama Updates PS4Dev GIT with New Tools and ELF Loader
PlayStation 4 developer hitodama has updated the PS4Dev GIT today with some new tools including an ELF Loader and more according to Sony PlayStation hacker BigBoss (PSX DEV).

Download: elfldr / elf-loader / elf-loader ([plain]PSXDev[/plain]) / libps4 / libps4-generator / libps4-symbols / libps4-examples / libps4-boilerplate / libps4-sce-include / libps4-std-include / PS4Dev GIT

PS4Dev File Purpose
elfldr Runs 64-bit Elf files in-process on Linux, FreeBSD and the PS4
libps4 Libc, POSIX and SCE module library for the PS4
libps4-generator Generates libps4 through std (C and Posix) and SCE module headers
libps4-symbols Most recent PS4 symbols by firmware for analysis and convenience
libps4-examples Examples and prove of concepts which show something realized with libps4 (not necessarily unique to the PS4 - in fact prove of POSIX parts or failures are quite welcome)
libps4-boilerplate Imported by libps4-generator to generate libps4
libps4-sce-include Reverse engineered community maintained SCE headers. Imported by libps4-generator to generate libps4
libps4-std-include Read-only freebsd libc and POSIX headers. Imported by libps4-generator to generate libps4
