Sony Confirms PS4 4.01 Kernel Exploit with Firmware 4.05 Update?!

Well, well... the PS4 4.01 Ksploit that was demonstrated yesterday by the Chinese Pavilion Safety Research Lab may be confirmed by an unlikely source- Sony themselves, as they just released a PlayStation 4 System Software 4.05 Update this morning which 'improves' the quality of the system performance!

Download: PS4 Firmware 4.05 Update (US) / PS4 Firmware 4.05 Update (EU) / PS4 Firmware 4.05 Update (UK) / PS4 Firmware 4.05 Update (AU/NZ) / PS4 Firmware 4.05 Update (JP)

To quote from Sony's European Page: An update to the system software for PlayStation 4 systems was released on 25 October 2016. You can use this to update your system software to version 4.05.

Main features in system software update 4.05

• This system software update improves the quality of the system performance.

As always, we'll update this article when confirmation from PlayStation 4 hackers comes... until then it's probably a very, very good bet to NOT update your PS4 Firmware just yet!

THANKS to @Jeff for the holla in the PSXHAX.COM Shoutbox!

Well, close to November. They just had to jump the gun for a contest. Better check the manufacturing dates on the Pro when you buy one lol

On Twitter they've just posted that they "will report" to Sony, so maybe Sony didn't patched the vuln. on 4.05:

Looks pretty legit to me. Too bad they have to send the exploit to Sony.

 

[Howie648]

Yeah, but hopefully they have other secret exploits to play with later.
