Many may recall the Pegasus Exploits on iOS PDF that was making rounds last week, well... today PlayStation 4 developer @SpecterDev shared his research findings on the Pegasus / Trident exploit in relation to the PS4 Chaitin Tech Exploit.
You can read the entire article on Specter's Development Blog with a closing excerpt below to quote:
"For 1.76, all of these steps were achieved. For 3.55, essentially all that's been done is step one. Now if the kernel exploit in Pegasus wasn't used in the jailbreak for firmwares > 1.76, what was? We don't know.
It's currently being held private, and Chatin did not disclose the vulnerability to the public, only exclusively to Sony. If one thing is for sure though, it's that the kernel exploit was assuredly burned in 4.06. I am however, unsure if the Pegasus webkit exploit was fixed or used in the jailbreak, however it's more than likely fixed as well."
Here are some related Tweets from SpecterDev and others on Twitter as well:
