"I have bought some of them on the PS3/Vita and the ones I could claim on the PS4/PS5 were Tekken 2 (which previously was not redeemable), all Syphon Filter games, all Wild Arms games, Legend of Dragoon, Ridge Racer Type 4 and Jumping Flash. Resident Evil Director's Cut is NOT redeemable. The rule of thumb is: if you can buy it on PS4/PS5 - and not only claim it through plus premium/deluxe sub, like Resident Evil 1 - they are redeemable from a previous purchase on PS3/PSP/Vita."

=== PS4/PS5 PS2emu sandbox escape (mast1c0re) ===

Advantages of the PS4/PS5 PS2emu sandbox escape exploit over most WebKit exploits:
* Bigger kernel attack surface (more usermode privileges) versus WebKit very restricted and becoming more and more with firmware revisions. For example, the PS2emu process uses libkernel_sys, which supports nmount and so mounting of system partitions, whilst neither libkernel_web nor regular libkernel do.
* 100% reliable versus WebKit exploits becoming less and less stable with firmware revisions
* Firmware agnostic (ROP-less code execution) versus almost one WebKit revision every three firmware update

==== Credits ====
* CTurt for discovering these vulnerabilities in September 2021.
* CTurt for public disclosure [https://twitter.com/CTurtE/status/1570189920844804097 on twitter] (2022-09-14).
* flatz, balika011, theflow0, chicken(s), PlayStation for helping CTurt.
* McCaulay for sharing publicly his implementation in February 2023.

==== Analysis ====

* [https://mccaulay.co.uk/mast1c0re-part-3-escaping-the-emulator Writeup part 3 by McCaulay (2023-02-17)]
* [https://cturt.github.io/mast1c0re-2.html Writeup part 2 by CTurt (2023-04-02)]

==== Bug Description ====
After getting code execution in a PS2onPS4 game using a savedata exploit, it is possible to exploit the PS2 emulator to get x86-64 usermode ROP execution. It is then possible, without a kernel exploit, to load another PS2 game in the emulator with a compatibility rate based on the PS2 emulator configuration.

==== Exploit Implementation ====
* [https://github.com/McCaulay/mast1c0re mast1c0re implementation by McCaulay (2023-02-18)]

==== Patched ====
'''No''' as of PS4 FW 11.50 and PS5 FW 8.00. Using the PS2onPS4 game Okage Shadow King, the exploit should work starting from PS4 FW 3.15 and PS5 FW 1.00.

=== PS4/PS5 game savedata LUA exploit ===

==== Credits ====
* Used by Flatz on 2023-07-27 in [https://wololo.net/2023/07/28/ps5-flat_z-dumps-ps5-secure-processor-confirms-he-has-a-ps5-hypervisor-exploit-via-a-ps4-game-save-exploit/ his Hypervisor exploit].
* Used by Flatz on 2024-09-14 in [https://gist.github.com/flatz/5e12f75cdb210516d31df03069f7ed0a his implementation of the umtx UaF kernel exploit].

==== Bug description ====
Some PS4 (or maybe PS5) games, in disc version (probably also available in PS Store version but potentially patched), can be exploited as they use some LUA interpreter, by crafting an evil save data.

==== Vulnerable games ====

Not confirmed:
Pay Day 2, Mafia III, God of War (which one?).

Confirmed:
TODO

==== Analysis ====

==== Patched
'''No''' as of PS4 FW ?12.00? and PS5 FW 7.61.

== Usermode Exploits (BD-J) ==

Advantages of most BD-J exploits over most WebKit exploits:
* Bigger kernel attack surface (more usermode privileges) versus WebKit very restricted and becoming more and more with firmware revisions. For example, the BD-J process uses libkernel_sys, which supports nmount and so mount of system partitions, whilst neither libkernel_web nor regular libkernel do.
* 100% reliable versus WebKit exploits becoming less and less stable with firmware revisions
* Firmware agnostic (ROP-less code execution) versus almost one WebKit revision every three firmware update
* JIT enabled allowing to write a kernel exploit in C versus writing in assembly and JavaScript since around FW 2.00

==== Credits ====
* TheFloW for the exploits finding (before 2023-09-11), ethical disclose to SCE (2023-09-22) and public disclosure (2023-10-25)

==== Bug Description ====
Basing on BD-JB1 exploit files, in /bdmv/bdjo.xml changing bdjo/applicationManagementTable/baseDirectory to a path of the form `file:///app0/cdc/lib/../../../disc/BDMV/JAR/00000.jar` allows loading a JAR Java executable file.

==== Bug Description ====
TO ADD DESCRIPTION OF EACH ONE OF THE 5 BUGS:

* #1 com.sony.gemstack.org.dvb.user.UserPreferenceManagerImpl userprefs hijack leading to classes instantiation under privileged context (affecting ?PS3?, PS4, PS5)
* #2 com.oracle.security.Service leading to privileged constructor call (affecting ?PS3?, PS4, not PS5)
* #3 com.sony.gemstack.org.dvb.io.ixc.IxcProxy leading to privileged method call (affecting ?PS3?, PS4, PS5)
* #4 JIT compiler hack leading to usermode arbitrary RW and arbitrary usermode code execution (affecting ?PS3?, PS4, not PS5)
* #5 UDF buffer overflow kernel exploit (affecting ?PS3?, PS4, PS5)

This exploit chain alone does not allow one to run pirated games on PS4 or PS5 as there is not enough RAM allowed in the BD-J process and there are other constraints.

==== Patched ====
'''No''' as of PS4 FW 9.00 and PS5 FW 4.03. At least partially patched on PS4 FW 9.50 and PS5 FW 5.00.

On PS4 FW 9.03 and PS5 FW ?4.50?, the bug #5 (UDF) has been patched.

== Usermode Exploits (WebKit) ==

=== WebKit sources ===

[https://web.archive.org/web/20231108165430/https://doc.dl.playstation.net/doc/ps4-oss/webkit.html WebKit sources] Currently archived up to version 10.01. Useful for developers that can't access PlayStation URLs and also for when Sony inevitably stops hosting the sources in the future.

Implementation description by Debty:<br />
String exploit is not actually an exploit but just a memory exhauster. It is not actually viable so instead there is a feature called "latest iteration".

==== Bug Description ====
According to abc (anonymous):
"The clobber bug PoC turns out not to be a memory corruption. Just like the article said, you can access a `GetterSetter` directly. The crash came from triggering `GetterSetter`'s methods that will call `RELEASE_ASSERT()`. We actually came across a bug that can leak `GetterSetter`s at WebKit's git main branch: `ceb7e89febcd [JSC] get_by_id_with_this + ProxyObject can leak JSScope objects https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=267425 <rdar://120777816>`

In summary with tinkering with this bug, we do not think you can do anything useful with accessing a `GetterSetter`. The clobber bug however does allow setting properties in places where you usually cannot like `Function's prototype` in the article. But without JIT, we do not think you can cause any memory corruption. The impact for both bugs is probably just JS execution, which we already have, which is a no go in some context (JS injection) but it does not help in gaining PS4/PS5 usermode execution.
<br />
Note that the PS4 webbrowser JIT has been removed around PS4 System Software version 5.00 or lower so using the article is not applicable."

==== Bug Description ====
The History API allows access to (and modification of) a stack of the pages visited in the current frame, and these page states are stored as a <code>SerializedScriptValue</code>. The History API exposes a getter for state, and a method <code>replaceState()</code> which allows overwriting the "most recent" history entry.

The bug is that <code>FrameLoader::loadInSameDocument()</code> takes the state as an argument (<code>stateObject</code>), but does not increase its reference count. Only a <code>HistoryItem</code> object holds a reference to the <code>stateObject</code>. <code>loadInSameDocument()</code> can trigger a callback into user JavaScript through the <code>onblur</code> event. The user's callback can call <code>replaceState()</code> to replace the <code>HistoryItem</code>'s state with a new object, therefore dropping the only reference to the <code>stateObject</code>. When the callback returns, <code>loadInSameDocument()</code> will still use this free'd object in its call to <code>statePopped()</code>, leading to the use-after-free.

When <code>loadInSameDocument()</code> is called it changes the focus to the element its scrolling to. If we set the focus on a different element prior to <code>loadInSameDocument()</code>'s execution, the blur event will be fired on that element. Then we can free the <code>stateObject</code> by calling <code>replaceState()</code> in the <code>onblur</code> event handler.

The bug is triggered by <code>history.back()</code> with the target state whose URL contains a hash. Here's a Proof-of-Concept that will crash:
<source lang="js">
input = document.body.appendChild(document.createElement('input'));

foo = document.body.appendChild(document.createElement('a'));
foo.id = 'foo';

function pop(event) {
    alert('you get a crash after you close this alert');
    event.state; // use the freed SerializedScriptValue
    alert('WebKit version not vulnerable');
}

addEventListener('popstate', pop);

history.pushState('state1', '', location + '#foo'); // URL with a hash
history.pushState('state2', '');

setTimeout(() => {
    input.focus();
    input.onblur = () => {
        history.replaceState('state3', '')
    };
    setTimeout(() => {
        history.back(); // trigger loadInSameDocument()
    }, 1000);
}, 1000);

</source>
The user may then trigger a double free and escalate it into an arbitrary read primitive via spraying <code>WTF::StringImpl</code>s like in the <code>buildBubbleTree()</code> UaF exploit. The read primitive is used to create the <code>addrof()</code> primitive and is used to save addresses of buffers that will be used to modify a <code>SerializedScriptValue</code>. After freeing the StringImpl (triple free), <code>SerializedScriptValue</code>s are sprayed via the <code>postMessage()</code> JavaScript function until one is allocated using the previously freed memory.

The method used to modify the fields of the <code>StringImpl</code> for arbitrary reads can be used can also be used to modify the <code>SerializedScriptValue</code>. Appropriate fields can modified to have deserialization create a <code>JSC::JSArrayBufferView</code> whose <code>m_vector</code> field will point to another <code>JSArrayBufferView</code>, which  will be called the worker. The user can modify the worker's fields for arbitrary read/write. Deserialization is done via <code>msg.data</code> where <code>msg</code> is the <code>MessageEvent</code> from <code>postMessage()</code>.

A way to know if the system is vulnerable is the appearance of the input HTML element in the PoC page. If the HTML input field stays focused (blue outline) after the second timeout, then the vulnerability is not present. Note that Maddie Stone's PoC will never trigger any sort of crash on release builds as it was meant for builds with memory sanitation that can detect UaFs.

'''Yes''' on PS4 FW 10.00 and PS5 FW 6.00.

The patch changes the stateObject argument to loadInSameDocument from a raw pointer, SerializedScriptValue*, to a reference-counted pointer, RefPtr<SerializedScriptValue>, so that loadInSameDocument now increments the reference count on the object.

Tested working on PS4 FWs 6.00-9.60 and PS5 FWs 1.00-5.50. PS4 FWs <= 5.56 are invulnerable as the HTML input field stays focused (blue outline) after second timeout whilst it should not if the console were exploitable.

==== Bug Description ====
Description in WebKit fix commit by Myles C. Maxfield:

After r256659, asking for a failed CSSFontFace's families() returns nullopt. It is possible to add a failed font to a CSSFontFaceSet (of course). When we do that, we recognize the font is failed and do not update our internal data structures, because there's no need to - we cannot do anything useful with a failed font. If you _then_ try to remove the font from the CSSFontFace, we do not call families(), but instead just pull out the raw m_families member, and look in our internal data structures for it, but we do not find it, because it was never added.

Description in Maddie Stone's write-up:

The vulnerability is a use-after-free due to an unchecked end() iterator. There was an assert statement: ASSERT(iterator != m_facesLookupTable.end());, but ASSERTs do not do anything in release builds. Therefore, even if iterator == m_facesLookupTable.end() in the release build, nothing would happen and iterator would still be used. In FontFaceSet a FontFace is not added to the faces lookup table in addToFacesLookupTable if the font has already been deemed to be invalid. However, removeFromFacesLookupTable would still attempt to remove the font, leading to the use-after-free. The patch changes the ASSERT to an if clause. The function will return if iterator == m_facesLookupTable.end(), since the item it wishes to remove is not found in the table.

Description by sleirsgoevy:

On PS4 FWs 9.00-9.04 the constructor returns with an exception, but to C++ code that ignores it. That is how an invalid font is created in the first place. On earlier PS4 FWs the exception is propagated to JavaScript.

'''Yes''' on PS4 FW 9.50 and '''No''' as of PS5 FW 4.51 (need to test on PS5 FWs >=5.00). Not working on PS4 FWs <9.00 and PS5 FWs <2.10.

Might have been introduced in PS4 FW 3.50 and before PS5 FW 1.00 according to dates (need to check). However the vulnerability cannot be exploited in some conditions depending on how WebKit was compiled. For example, on PS4 FWs 7.55-8.52 and PS5 FWs <= 2.00, the FontFaceSet constructor returns with an exception that is propagated to JavaScript, preventing exploitation this way.

Tested working on PS4 FWs 9.00-9.04 and PS5 FWs 3.00-4.51. Untested: PS5 FWs 2.10-2.50 and >=5.00.

==== Bug Description ====
The specific flaw exists within the handling of GraphicsContext objects. By manipulating a document's elements an attacker can force this object in memory to be reused after it has been freed. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code under the context of the current process.

CVE-2016-1859 is a use-after-free vulnerability that existed in the Safari web browser. A GraphicsContext object is used in the setPlatformTextDrawingMode function after it has been freed. The successful triggering of the use-after-free vulnerability itself does not allow the attacker to directly change the control flow or disclose arbitrary memory contents. However, the use-after-free yields an arbitrary-memory-write primitive by hijacking a destination pointer that will be used for the memcpy function. Once the arbitrary-memory-write primitive is achieved, the attacker sprays the heap with string objects to achieve the arbitrary-memory-read primitive. Relying on the pointer width heap alignment, the attacker can accurately predict the exact address of one of the string objects among the heap spray and pinpoint the address of member variable. At this point, the attacker can overwrite the length member variable of a string object and partially disclose the out-of-bound heap area exceeding the buffer address of the string. The partial disclosure of the heap memory allows the attacker to extend the information leak step-by-step and ultimately allows full chaining of ROP, which leads to arbitrary code execution.

==== Bug Description ====
This bug is triggered when the browser handles a JavaScript 'onLoad' handler in conjunction with an improperly initialized 'window()' JavaScript function. This exploit results in a call to an address lower than the heap. The javascript prompt() places our shellcode near where the call operand points to. We call prompt() multiple times in separate iframes to place our return address. We hide the prompts in a popup window behind the main window. We spray the heap a second time with our shellcode and point the return address to the heap. I use a fairly high address to make this exploit more reliable. Microsoft Internet Explorer will crash when the exploit completes. Also, please note that Microsoft Internet Explorer must allow popups in order to continue exploitation.

==== Bug Description ====
Use-after-free with input type image. Error event was fired synchronously blowing away the input element from underneath.

Exploiting this vulnerability on PS4 is not good because:
* This vulnerability does not provide arbitrary RW without code execution, hence ROP chain (at least to stack pivot to JiT code) must be made with a memory dump or decrypted modules for this FW gotten using another vulnerability.
* There is usermode ASLR since about FW 1.70 so ROP chain gadgets must be relocated at runtime. This means another vulnerability allowing usermode arbitrary read is needed.
* As usually an arbitrary read vulnerability also gives arbitrary write, and as arbitrary RW leads to usermode code execution (by hijacking JS pointers in virtual table), this UaF is not needed at all.
* Even if we get ROP chain to work on PS4 with this UaF vulnerability, there is no evidence that a return to JavaScript from ROP chain is doable, making this exploit less convenient than arbitrary RW exploits method of getting code execution then returning to usermode by restoring vtable.

== Usermode securities ==

=== Usermode ASLR ===

* Very old firmwares (<= 1.05) do not have ASLR enabled, but it was introduced sometime before firmware 1.70. "Address Space Layout Randomization" (ASLR) is a security technique which causes the base addresses of modules to be different every time you start the PS4.
* To defeat usermode ASLR on FWs >=1.70, we can use the module imports table to find other modules address once we know SceWebkit2 address.

=== Module imports table cleaned before execution ===

* Between 1.76 and 4.05, Sony did that to prevent WebKit exploiters from defeating usermode ASLR easily.
* Now we have to dump entire usermode sandboxed memory, and by studying it we can defeat ASLR:
1. Chose a function (ex: __stack_chk_fail) imported from libkernel.sprx by libSceWebkit2.sprx

2. Read pointer contained at the address where the call is done

3. Substract to this pointer the offset of the function (ex: __stack_chk_fail) in LibKernel module

4. This result is LibKernel base address. This method works for any imported module.

For FW >= 6.00, for web applications, libkernel.sprx has been replaced by libkernel_web.sprx and libSceWebKit2 by libSceNKWebKit.sprx. libkernel.sprx is still used by other applications.

=== DEP / NX ===

* "Data Execution Prevention" / "No eXecute" is enabled on all firmwares. It prevents allocating memory as both RW and RX at same time (RWX) so preventing us from writing shellcode to usermode memory then executing it.
* 2 ways to bypass this security: JiT vulnerability (FW <= 1.76) or ROP (all FWs).

=== JiT removed from webbrowser ===

* On FW <= 1.76, you could map RWX memory from ROP by abusing the JiT functionality and the sys_jitshm_create and sys_jitshm_alias system calls. This however was fixed after 1.76, as WebKit has been split into two processes. One handles javascript compilation and the other handles other web page elements like image rendering and DOM. The second process will request JiT memory upon hitting JavaScript via IPC (Inter-Process Communication). Since we no longer have access to the process responsible for JiT, we can no longer (at least currently), map RWX memory for proper code execution unless the kernel is patched.
* Checking the source code at [https://doc.dl.playstation.net/doc/ps4-oss/webkit.html ps4-oss], starting as early as FW 6.00, ENABLE_JIT=OFF for -DPORT=PlayStation4. It means that JIT functionality is completely removed from WebKit and there is no JIT coprocess that is allowed to request RWX memory to even attack. Even if there are JIT bugs that can lead us to request RWX memory in other platforms, we can't on the PS4 as there is no longer any JIT process. Unchecked all source codes, JIT process could have been removed earlier than 6.00. All exploits must use ROP.
* Workaround is to use ROP.

=== Syscalls removed ===

* See the PS4 [[Syscalls]] list.

=== Syscall 0 disabled i.e Error Kernel: The application directly issues a syscall instruction (24) ===

* Between 2.00 and 2.57, SCE has removed system call 0, so we can no longer call any syscall we want by specifying the call number in the rax register.
* Doing so now crashes the app and gives error CE-34878-0, SCE_KERNEL_ABORT_REASON_SYSTEM_ILLEGAL_FUNCTION_CALL, with the message "Kernel: The application directly issues a syscall instruction (24)".
* We now have to use wrappers provided to us from the libkernel / libkernel_web / libkernel_sys modules to access system calls.

=== bpf_write function stripped out of the kernel ===

* On 4.70, bpfwrite() was stripped out of the kernel entirely to patch kernel vulnerability exploited in 4.55 kexploit.

=== bpf_open function blocked for unprivileged processes ===

* On 5.50, opening BPF has been blocked for unprivileged processes such as WebKit and other apps/games. It's still present in the sandbox, however attempting to open it will fail and yield EPERM. This aims blocking BPF kernel exploits especially qwertyoruiop's BPF double free UAF.

=== bpf_ioctl function blocked or removed ===

* On FW 5.50+, opening BPF is still possible in less sandboxed apps like TestKit/DevKits fSELFs. But this is useless because ioctl does not work.

=== Device access blocked/removed from webbrowser ===

* Around 6.50-6.70, device access got blocked or removed. Now you can no longer access devices from the web browser.

=== Pointer poisoning in WebKit on 6.xx firmwares ===

* For select types implemented by WebKit (such as JSC::JSFunction), certain pointer fields are XOR'ed by a cryptographic key generated at runtime. The key is generated once every process launch, one must recover it to unpoison the pointers.

The PlayStation 4 has a kernel PPPoE driver, that originates from NetBSD. This driver has a kernel heap overflow vulnerability, that an attacker can remotely trigger over the LAN, with the ability to control both the contents that are overflown and their sizes.

Extract of NetBSD 8.3 changelog:
<pre>
sys/net/if_pppoe.c			1.179

	pppoe(4): fix CVE-2022-29867 - discovery phase local network
	mbuf corruption.
	[martin, ticket #1740]

Do not allocate mbuf clusters when the caller (eroneously) asks
for more than MCLBYTES size, instead fail the allocation.

When we have received multiple PADO offer packets in the discovery
phase, do not combine tags from different packets. We are supposed
to pick one PADO packet and continue session establishment with that.

The second bug could cause code to trigger the first and create
invalid response packets and also overwrite data outside of
the allocated mbuf cluster.

Fixes CVE-2022-29867.

==== Bug Description ====
Memory corruption can be achieved by sending fragmented IPv6 packets to loopback interface due to poor and inconsistent use of IP6_EXTHDR_CHECK.

The macro IP6_EXTHDR_CHECK can free the mbuf if the packet is sent to loopback interface. This fact is not considered in dest6_input(), frag6_input() and more. For example in dest6_input(), the double pointer is not updated.

Hence, when parsing next headers, the mbuf can be free'd once again, leading to a double free which behaves like a use-after-free when we allocate mbuf's again.

Normally, this path would not be triggerable, because sending to loopback interface requires SOCK_RAW root privileges. However, for some reason on the PS4 SOCK_RAW sockets can be opened in Webkit process! Moreover, CelesteBlue confirmed that SOCK_RAW sockets can also be opened in PS4 Kit fSELF.

According to TheFloW, the reliability of the FreeBSD 9 PoC is very high, around 80%, whereas the PS4 PoC's is not very high, he guesses around 20%.

==== Bug Description ====
Due to missing locks in option IPV6_2292PKTOPTIONS of setsockopt, it is possible to race and free the struct ip6_pktopts buffer, while it is being handled by ip6_setpktopt. This structure contains pointers (ip6po_pktinfo) that can be hijacked to obtain arbitrary kernel R/W primitives. As a consequence, it is easy to have kernel code execution. This vulnerability is reachable from WebKit sandbox and is available in the latest FW, that is 7.02.

Another description: There is a race and use-after-free vulnerability in the FreeBSD kernel IPv6 socket handling. A missing synchronization lock in the `IPV6_2292PKTOPTIONS` option handling in `setsockopt` permits racing `ip6_setpktopt` access to a freed `ip6_pktopts` struct. This exploit overwrites the `ip6po_pktinfo` pointer of a `ip6_pktopts` struct in freed memory to achieve arbitrary kernel read/write.

==== Bug Description ====
Due to improper locking, two threads can enter the BPF SETWF ioctl command handler. While the bug is similar to that of 4.55, the method of attack is slightly different. Since write() was removed for BPF in 4.70, instead of triggering a use-after-free with write() - SETWF is ran in parallel via threading. Eventually, both calls will copy the same pointer to the stack, leading to both threads free()'ing the same pointer, poisoning the freelist. This can later be leveraged via heap spraying to corrupt heap memory to obtain arbitrary code execution in supervisor mode (ring0).

==== Bug Description ====
Due to improper locking, two threads can enter the BPF ioctl command handlers for setting a new write filter (SETWF) and setting a filter (SETIF). Both threads will reference the same pointer. In specially crafted situations, one thread could free() this pointer while the other thread executes it as a filter post-validation. This allows an unprivileged user to obtain an out-of-bounds (OOB) write on the stack, leading to arbitrary code execution in supervisor mode (ring0).

==== Bug Description ====
The setlogin function in FreeBSD 8.4 through 10.1-RC4 does not initialize the buffer used to store the login name, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory via a call to getlogin, which returns the entire buffer.

When setlogin(2) is called while setting up a new login session, the login name is copied into an uninitialized stack buffer, which is then copied into a buffer of the same size in the session structure. The getlogin(2) system call returns the entire buffer rather than just the portion occupied by the login name associated with the session.

An unprivileged user can access this memory by calling getlogin(2) and reading beyond the terminating NUL character of the resulting string. Up to 16 (FreeBSD 8) or 32 (FreeBSD 9 and 10) bytes of kernel memory may be leaked in this manner for each invocation of setlogin(2).

This memory may contain sensitive information, such as portions of the file cache or terminal buffers, which an attacker might leverage to obtain elevated privileges.

== Kernel securities ==

=== Kernel ASLR ===

Since 3.50 FW, ASLR (Address Space Layout Randomization) has been enabled in PS4 kernel. This means that to properly exploit the kernel to escalate privileges, an information disclosure vulnerability will most likely be needed to defeat ASLR and locate the kernel in memory.

=== Kernel SMAP ===

PS4 APU does not support SMEP ("Supervisor Mode Execution Prevention") so there is no way it supports SMAP ("Supervisor Mode Access Prevention"). However, in PS4 5.0x FW and above, a sort of SMAP was added to the kernel to prevent exploiters from pivoting the kernel stack pointer (RSP) to usermode memory: attempting to do so would crash the system. Sony probably added checks into the scheduler to check the stack pointer (RSP) against usermode addresses when running in kernel context. A new exploitation strategy is needed to run kernel ROP chains because an exploiters now needs to get his kernel ROP chain inside kernel memory to be executed.

==== SMAP bypass method: JOP ====

To bypass PS4 SMAP, qwertyoruiop decided in his 5.05 PS4 kernel exploit to go with the method he used on the Apple iPhone 7 - essentially using JOP to push a bunch of stack frames onto the kernel stack, and memcpy()'ing the kernel ROP chain into RSP. qwertyoruiop explained: "JOP seems to work, but exploit is not reliable enough to repeat it multiple times implementing logic in-between (like on the FW 4.55 kernel bug where every primitive would re-exploit the bug). Using pure JOP logic would be long because of the need to find good instructions gadgets, and would vary a lot from a FW version to another. The strategy chosen is thread-safe and calling-convention aware, but most importantly pivot-less. We use JOP to implement a simple loop based on deref&branch logic. Every iteration runs a function prolog followed by a branch. This pushes lots of stack frames on stack, padding RSP. When loop is done, prepare call to memcpy with RDI = RSP, RSI = controlled pointer, RDX = (size of pushed stack frame * number of iterations - 1). We overwrite all fake frames but one with ROP. Memcpy will return into our first gadget, kickstarting the chain. At tail end of chain we just return into matching function epilog to resume clean execution by popping the one untouched frame. RSP never pivoted so PS4 successfully runs the kernel ROP chain."

==== SMAP bypass method: cli/sti ====

A PS4 SMAP bypass has been showed by sleirsgoevy in his 6.72 PS4 kernel exploit implementation. It consists in wrapping the main kernel ROP with cli/sti pair, which would prevent it from being preempted. This way the thread's CPU core will not run other kernel code during kernel ROP execution, and other cores have no way of detecting the stack pivot, so the mitigation is defeated.

* [https://github.com/sleirsgoevy/ps4jb/blob/master/src/oldkex.c#L451 cli/sti SMAP bypass in 6.72 PS4 kernel exploit]

==== PS5 SMAP bypass method: CVE-2021-29628 ====

A SMAP bypass has been found by m00nbsd while working on FreeBSD 12. It is named CVE-2021-29628 and affects FreeBSD 12.2 and later (til it was patched). It does not work on PS4 because PS4 kernel is based on FreeBSD 9 which did not contain the vulnerability and because PS4 SMAP does not come from FreeBSD but is custom from Sony. It used to work on PS5 before it was disclosed and patched. See [https://www.psdevwiki.com/ps5/Vulnerabilities#SMAP_bypass_%28CVE-2021-29628%29 CVE-2021-29628 on PS5 Dev Wiki].

=== CR0.WP protection ===

At least since PS4 System Software version 6.51, Sony instrumented all instructions that write to the CR0 register with checks for attempts to clear CR0.WP (Write Protect), which is necessary for patching the kernel. This is what it looks like in 6.51 kernel:

   a1b79:       0f 22 c0                mov    cr0,rax
   a1b7c:       48 a9 00 00 01 00       test   rax,0x10000
   a1b82:       75 02                   jne    a1b86 <-- skip the next instruction if CR0.WP is not cleared
   a1b84:       0f 0b                   ud2    <-- #UD exception, causes a kernel panic
   a1b86:       c3                      ret 

Note that the check is after the write, to prevent a ROP gadget from pointing straight at the mov and skipping the verification.

Bypasses (in chronological order):
* Execute an unintended "move to cr0" instruction in the middle of another instruction (e.g. instruction "call $+0x220f1c" (e8 17 0f 22 00) contains an unintended "mov cr0, rax" (0f 22 00))
* Use kernel write to give your process JIT permissions, allocate JIT memory, and put entirely custom code there (avoids the problem altogether, as it is specific to ROP). This seems impossible on PS5 with a classic kernel exploit because of XOM.
* Since the IDT (Interrupt Descriptor Table) is writable on FreeBSD, PS4 and PS5, it is possible to overwrite an exception handler without clearing CR0.WP first. One can overwrite the handler of #UD with a gadget of their choice (a stack pivot, or an "add rsp, ... ; ret" instruction, or whatever), then the UD2 instruction in the mitigation code will happily jump to it instead of the real handler, with CR0.WP cleared. To be precise, one must set up IDT handlers and point the IST (Interrupt Stack) to a ROP chain. It is required to poison the upper 16 bits of a pointer to make it non-canonical. Finally, write a custom page fault handler to run any kernel code you want. This technique proposed by sleirsgoevy since PS4 System Software version 6.51 was later adapted to PS5. However, this method slows down system performance compared to native execution because alone it can just run kernel ROP chains and it requires knowledge of gadgets positions. So on PS4, it is better to only use the IDT trick initially in a kernel exploit to patch kernel and allow non-ROP code execution for example by allowing JIT. On PS5, it is required to bypass XOM so an hypervisor exploit is required.

=== <= ?7.55? - Missing HMAC key length check in Secure Kernel leading to Partial SAMU KeyRings bruteforce ===

==== Credits ====

* Discovered by yifan lu (2017-02-19), plutoo and Proxima (2018-08-09), Davee (2018-12-29) for PS Vita, by flatz (2021-12-18) for PlayStation 4.

=== Bug description ===

The PS4 Crypto Coprocessor (CCP) interface in Secure Kernel has a bug that allows to dump (or better saying, bruteforce) key rings from SAMU.
That is how AES/HMAC keys from PFS, portability keys, VTRM keys, etc can be retrieved. A crypto flaw was in the ability to issue HMAC operation with key length stricly lower than 16. For example, by setting it to 1 you can bruteforce key bytes one by one by comparing HMAC result with HMAC result with known partial key.

This trick may work on other crypto hardware as well if it does not restrict key lengths. Amazingly, Intel Secure Key Storage (SKS) of CSME subsystem also has a bug allowing to brute-force any key slot, but the issue exists at hardware level - insecure design of  the keys distribution to crypto engines (AES, SHA, RC4). Intel did not recognize the bug arguing that to access SKS the CSME privileged arbitrary code execution is required, but SKS is exactly designed to protect the ROM generated keys from CSME firmware...

This can be used to dump the AES XTS key and HMAC key of a specific PS4 game PKG. Then one can use maxton's LibOrbisPkg or flatz's pkg_pfs_tool to unpack this PKG file.

=== <= 2.50 - IDPS leak in sceSblAuthMgrDriveData on low retail FWs ===

==== Credits ====

* Discovered by flatz (2018-08-27).

==== Bug analysis ====

By calling the sceSblAuthMgrDriveData kernel function on a PS4, which is a wrapper to the Authentication Secure Module associated fonction, it is possible to dump its IDPS ([[Console ID]]). It is possible because some PlayStation 4 operating system developer from Sony forgot to encrypt sceSblAuthMgrDriveData output by the Authentication Secure Module and that is how it was patched later. The PS4 IDPS is stored encrypted in an EID block in the [[Serial Flash]].

To dump the PS4's IDPS, execute sceSblAuthMgrDriveData(0, in_buf, 0x160, out_buf, 0xA4, 1). Pass 0x160 bytes at 0x90C00 from sflash0s1.crypt into `in_buf` and dump `out_buf`.

=== <= ?1.62? - Missing version checks allow decryption of any GEN3 PUP ===

==== Credits ====

* Discovered by flatz (2016).

==== Bug description ====

A bug in the Secure Module that handle PUP decryption allows any PS4 GEN3 on FW 1.62 or below to decrypt any GEN3 PUP (retail, TestKit, DevKit, Beta) with a version above 1.00 (post-prototype).https://github.com/SocraticBliss/ps4-pup_decrypt

The Secure Module mailbox code does not reset state after [[SMI]] checks failure, so to decrypt an arbitrary PUP, you need to ignore the mailbox error after executing the PupDecryptHeader command (1).

==== Implementation ====

Any PS4 PUP decryptor kernel payload that ignore the mailbox error could be used. See [[PUP#Decrypter_%28first_step%29]] for implementations.

==== Patched ====

'''Yes''' around PS4 FW 1.70.

* Detailed at 33c3: [https://fail0verflow.com/media/33c3-slides/#/5 33c3 slides by Marcan]
* Permits kernel and usermode dumping

=== Syscon glitching ===

It is possible to glitch the [[Syscon]] debug interface to allow access and dump keys. It was originally done by an anonymous member of fail0verflow.

=== Aeolia and Belize (Southbridge) SCA/DPA ===

Side Channel Analysis (SCA) with Differential Power Analysis (DPA) on Aeolia and Belize (PS4 Southbridge revisions) has been shown to be able to recover key material. Since Sony never used private/public key pairs, it is possible to exploit this and gain complete control over the [[Southbridge]]. You can attack the main FreeBSD kernel from here.

Nearly same methods are working on recent PS4 Pro motherboard NVB-003 that has Belize [[Southbridge]] ([[CXD90046GG]]).

Contrarly to Aeolia, Belize has ROM readout protection and clears stack which makes it more secure.

Old notes:

This is a hack to gain unsigned code execution on the [[Southbridge]] for all motherboard/console revisions. You might be able to glitch the EMC bootrom in order to bypass further signature checks and break the chain of trust. This hack might involve slowing down the [[Syscon]] clock. Timing the glitch based on SPI read accesses then either doing a power glitch or clock glitch to skip signature check. If the glitch fails, then we simply reset. This can be done with a very cheap CPLD/FPGA. Most Xbox 360 glitching modchips used a Xilinx Coolrunner because it is cheap and easy to use (board can cost as low as $5).
