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!

Alright then.
Waiting for leak. ^^ (not happened so fast)

I wonder if Sony already knew about it, or if they might have added a patch into the 4.05 Firmware Update as I notice their server date for it is from 2016_1011... hopefully we'll hear word from someone at the Ksploit camp to find out soon

I don't buy it, I'm way too suspicious nowadays. just doesn't sit right with me

 

[PSXHAX]

Maybe we need one of these

Woah! It's jailbreak time!

On the bright side, if Sony did patch it.. they may decide to share it if they weren't planning to before

I hope the new PS4 Pro will be released (10th november) with FW 4.01
