* First done on 1.01 by failoverflow on PS4 launch !
* 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.

=== PS1 games savedata exploits ===
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.


See [https://www.psdevwiki.com/ps1/Vulnerabilities PS1 savedata exploits on PS1 Dev Wiki].
Nearly same methods are working on recent PS4 Pro motherboard NVB-003 that has Belize [[Southbridge]] ([[CXD90046GG]]).


Official PS Classic games (warning: some may be remastered, to check) on PS4/PS5 available on PS Store:
Contrarly to Aeolia, Belize has ROM readout protection and clears stack which makes it more secure.

"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."
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).

The first game in the series was Clock Tower (1995) - first released on the SNES, later ported to PS1, PC and WonderSwan, but only ever released in Japan. The PS1 game is the second game, and was called Clock Tower 2 in Japan but just Clock Tower everywhere else, even though it is a sequel and not a port of the original. So Clock Tower 2 on the PS1 is the third game, and Clock Tower 3 on the PS2 is the fourth game.

"Five PS1 games were recently announced for PS5 and PS4 with trophy support: Gex, Gex Enter the Gecko, Gex 3 Deep Cover Gecko, Clock Tower, and Tomba. All five games were announced to be using Limited Run Games' Carbon Engine, which so far has been primarily used to support older console emulation like the SNES and Sega Genesis, but has now officially revealed support for Sony's original PlayStation as well. These PS1 ports for PS5 and PS4 will use Limited Run Games' "Carbon Engine," which allows these classic titles to implement modern features like trophy support."

==== Bug Description ====
* TODO: document the general vulnerability coming from |this|.
 
According to the spec [1], `var base = { foo }; with (base) foo();` should be called with `this`
value of `base`, which is why FunctionCallResolveNode moves resolved scope to thisRegister().
That is arguably a bad design, and there is an effort [2] to abolish using JSScope as `this` value.
 
When `this` value is accessed by JS code, it's being sanitized via ToThis (JSScope replaced with
`undefined`), yet not in case of `super.property` access calling into ProxyObject `get` trap,
which passes raw `this` value as receiver parameter, leaking JSScope to be exploited.

==== Bug Description ====
There is an integer underflow in WebKit renderer. It was addressed with improved input validation.
The JavaScriptCore Isel SBFX patterns in JavaScriptCore/b3/B3LowerToAir.cpp allowed immediate overflow as 'lsb' and 'width' are not properly checked.
SBFX stands for Signed Bitfield Extract. See [https://www.scs.stanford.edu/~zyedidia/arm64/sbfx_sbfm.html] and [https://developer.arm.com/documentation/101273/0001/The-Cortex-M55-Instruction-Set--Reference-Material/Bit-field-instructions/SBFX-and-UBFX]. SBFX is an alias for SBFM (Signed Bitfield Move). See [https://www.scs.stanford.edu/~zyedidia/arm64/sbfm.html]. SBFM is a bitfield extraction opcode.
Isel is a short name for Instruction SELect. This pass transforms generic machine instructions into equivalent target-specific instructions. It traverses the MachineFunction bottom-up, selecting uses before definitions, enabling trivial dead code elimination.

==== Bug Description ====
It is required to recompute length properly when resize happens during TypedArray copyWithin.
copyWithin's side effectful operation can resize resizable ArrayBuffer. WebKit has a code catching this and recompute the appropriate copy count again, but it can overflow if `to` or `from` are larger than the newly updated `length`. The patch handles this case correctly: returning since there is no copying content in this case.
The issue was patched by aborting the copy if either of the two variables to or from is larger than the updated length.
The values used during the exploit were sane as they went through a sanitizer function. However, in the final stage, the values were updated without checking if there are inside the buffer length bounds.
According to PS4 WebKit source code for System Software version 11.00, not only it is not patched but it uses code from 2021! Looking at [https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/blob/cccb58deac3c56a831678458ce95ea5b7c837614/Source/JavaScriptCore/runtime/JSGenericTypedArrayViewPrototypeFunctions.h#L177 a version close to one in the PS4 source code for System Software version 11.00], it should be exploitable.

==== Bug Description ====
clobberize needs to be more precise with the *ByOffset nodes. CSE phase uses clobberize to figure out if it's safe to merge two operations that def the same HeapLocation. Since HeapLocation does not currently have a way to track the offset used by the various *ByOffset nodes it can get confused and think that two ByOffset instructions produce the same value even if they do not use the same offset. This patch solves this by adding a new field to HeapLocation, which takes the metadata associated with the corresponding *ByOffset node. If two *ByOffset operations don't share the same metadata then they cannot be CSEed.
This vulnerability is ranked 7.5 (HIGH) on CVSS:3.1.

==== Bug Description ====
Note that the PS4 web browser JIT support has been removed since around PS4 System Software version 5.00 or lower so using the article directly is not applicable.
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 have [[#FW_?6.00-11.52?_-_get_by_id_with_this_associated_with_ProxyObject_can_leak_JSScope_objects|a bug that can leak `GetterSetter`s]].
In summary with tinkering with this bug, abc (anonymous) do not think that an attacker can do anything useful with accessing a `GetterSetter`. The clobberWorld bug however does allow setting properties in places where you usually cannot like `Function's prototype` as shown in the article. But without JIT, one probably cannot cause any memory corruption. The impact for both bugs (clobberWorld and ProxyObject) is probably just JavaScript execution, which we already have, which is a no go in some context (JS injection) but it does not help in gaining usermode ROP execution on PS4 or PS5.

The bug is related to web browser history and is triggered only when pressing back button (O on PS4 controller), but requires many attempts. On vulnerable PS4 FW, after 3 or 4 attempts it gives OOM. A way to know if the system is vulnerable is the appearance of the input HTML element the PoC page after the timeout.
 
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.

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.

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.

==== Bug Description ====
It is possible for JavaScript to change the type property of an input field. WebKit needs to gracefully handle this case.
 
This bug could have been prevented had it a debug check been used instead of a runtime check. In fact, WebKit has support for this type of assertion already through a RELEASE_ASSERT macro, which would have turned this exploitable bug into a simple denial-of-service by immediately and safely crashing the browser.
 
The fix commit of the vulnerability adds a type traits specialization so that WebKit can properly downcast InputType elements. This should be used only to call search functions on actual search input types.
 
Although the access violation in WebCore::TimerBase::heapPop is where we see the result of the bug, it is not the cause of the issue. The crash actually occurs as a result of reading a pointer that comes from the 'this' object. Based on that, it would seem that something is wrong with the Timer object passed into the WebCore::TimerBase::heapPop function.
 
This vulnerability may be the one used by Chaintin Tech with a kernel exploit on PS4 FW 4.01 at GeekPwn 2016, a Tencent Security's conference, in Shanghai Station at the Pavilion Safety Research Lab, (https://www.chaitin.cn/ps4, https://www.psxhax.com/threads/ps4-4-01-linux-installation-ksploit-demo-at-geekpwn-2016.932/)

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 ====
The IA-32 architecture allows programs to define segments, which provides based and size-limited view into the program address space. The memory-resident processor structure, called Local Descriptor Table, usually abbreviated LDT, contains definitions of the segments. Since incorrect or malicious segments would breach system integrity, operating
systems do not provide processes direct access to the LDT, instead they provide system calls which allow controlled installation and removal of segments.
 
A special combination of sysarch(2) arguments, specify a request to uninstall a set of descriptors from the LDT. The start descriptor is cleared and the number of descriptors are provided. Due to lack of sufficient bounds checking during argument validity verification, unbound zero'ing of the process LDT and adjacent memory can be initiated from usermode.
 
sysarch is syscall #165 on FreeBSD 9.1 and on PS4. Sony removed set_ldt between System Software version 1.76 and 4.05, according to Red-EyeX32.

At least since firmware 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

Line 1,666: Line 1,048:


Bypasses (in chronological order):
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.

==== Patched ====
'''Yes''' on PS4 FW 4.50 by using asymmetrical key. Tested between 1.01 and 4.07 PS4 FWs.
----
=== <= 3.70 - Reused keys lead to decryption of any PS4 1.00- 3.70 usermode SELF ===
==== Bug description ====
Sony reused encryption keys from System Software version 1.00 to 3.70 for PS4 usermode modules. As a result, any PS4 usermode module from those FWs can be decrypted on a PS4 running FW between 1.00 and 3.70.
==== Patched ====
'''Yes''' in 4.00 FW with the introduction of new keyset.
----
=== <= 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`.
==== Analysis ====
==== Implementation ====
==== Patched ====
'''Yes''' in PS4 3.00 retail FW. Works on any PS4 TestKit/DevKit FW.
----
=== <= ?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.

==== Bug description ====
The kernel memory contains the kernel fSELF but with decrypted data, which in turn can be decompressed to grab ubios, vbios, kernel boot code and partial kernel.
By dumping PS4 kernel memory with a kernel exploit, in order to dump the x86 kernel, we sometimes find a strange fSELF. This fSELF is only partial: 1.5MB, but should be 17MB if it was the x86 kernel. Luckily it is only compressed, not encrypted. When uncompressing it using offzip, we can see only 1 segment. That is because the other segments have been cutted and the segment is incomplete. But we can see that it is the decrypted x86 kernel, as confirmed by diffing with anonymously shared decrypted full x86 kernel. In the decrypted x86 kernel, you can see a second ELF header. It is once again only compressed and not encrypted, and this is what zecoxao named the "Matroska kernel".
Sadly, this vulnerability is random, as it relies on kernel ASLR which is itself random. So depending on the System Software version, as modules have different sizes, kernel ASLR has more (100% on 3.15, 3.50 and 3.70) or less (1% on ?4.74?) chances to leak the Matroska kernel. It is unknown how we could improve this success rate. Maybe by instead of rebooting, causing a kernel panic or rebooting to recovery, entering rest mode then disconnecting power supply. A way to accelerate the process would be to scan kernel memory and check magics to see if there is a Matroska kernel. If there is, dump it, else reboot and cross fingers.
Note: vbios seems to be the same from 3.50 to 6.00b1 at least.
==== Analysis ====
Since PS4 3.50 FW, ASLR (Address Space Layout Randomization) has been enabled in PS4 kernel.
During PS4 boot, the following operations are executed:
* the encrypted x86 kernel is loaded from [[Serial Flash]]
* the secure kernel decrypt the x86 kernel SELF, without uncompressing it to some fixed address: at 0xFFFFFFFF84000000 in the case of 3.xx and 5.xx firmwares or 0xFFFFFFFFC4000000 in the case of 4.xx.
* the secure kernel randomly chooses a base address for Kernel ASLR, starting from 0xFFFFFFFF80000000.
* the secure kernel uncompresses the x86 kernel to the address determined by Kernel ASLR.
On some PS4 boots, Kernel ASLR base address can be very near of Matroska kernel address and the lack of memory separation and wipe renders the dump of Matroska kernel possible with only kernel memory read access.
==== Patched ====
'''Yes''' partially in 4.00 FW by increasing the kernel ASLR base address but it might have reappeared in newer versions like since 5.00 or 4.74, but with lower success rate.
It was also not present on 1.76 and below, so probably appeared when Sony worked on adding ASLR in PS4 Kernel. Also note that Matroska kernel is present on 3.15 even though there is no Kernel ASLR in this version.
== Hardware Exploits ==
=== PCIe man-in-the-middle attack ===
* First done on PS4 FW 1.01 by failoverflow on PS4 launch!
* 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:
* Use an "unintended" mov to cr0 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 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).
* Since the IDT is writable on FreeBSD and PS4, 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 a "add rsp, ... ; ret", or whatever else), and the UD2 instruction in the mitigation code will happily jump to it instead of the real handler, with CR0.WP cleared.

=== Arbitrary code execution in AMD SMU by incomplete hashing and bounds checking ===
 
==== Credits ====
* Rudolf Marek discovered, disclosed to AMD then publicly through the following timeline:
** Christmas 2013 - SMU firmware was analyzed from public AMD documentation
** April 2014 - Bug was found in the SMU firmware
** 2014-04-30 - Request to AMD sent
** 2014-05-15 - Reply by AMD
** 2014-05-16 - Encrypted communication, sending details
** 2014-07-09 - AMD acknowledges the problem
** In the meanwhile - Occasional communication
** 2014-11-25 - AMD sends to Rudolf Marek a list of AMD AGESA versions which contain a fix
 
==== Bug description ====
A security vulnerability, discovered by Rudolf Marek in April 2014, in the recent AMD processors (Trinity and Richland, of FM2 socket) allows arbitrary code execution on the AMD System Management Unit (SMU).
 
It consists in two bugs in the SMU of AMD Trinity and Richland CPUs:
* The AMD SMU firmware is not padded so some part (256 bytes) of the runtime firmware is not correctly covered by protection cover (0x55 0xaa ...).
* The AMD SMU request function incorrectly checks bounds.
Similar, but not same problem affected AMD Kabini and Kaveri CPUs. It also likely affects PS4 as its [[APU]] is AMD Kabini/Jaguar.
 
Thanks to this vulnerability, the AMD SMU firmware can be dumped. From the dump, the [[Keys#AMD_SMU_Keys HMAC-SHA1 key]] was obtained.
 
Thanks to the knowledge of this key, the AMD SMU firmware could possibly be replaced by a custom one.

==== Patched ====
Maybe after 2014-11-25, SMU vulnerability found by Rudolf Marek could have been patched on PS4 as AMD released patches: the fixed SMU firmware is part of updated AMD AGESA.
 
=== Untested - Arbitrary code execution in AMD SMU by custom firmware ===
 
==== Credits ====
* Rudolf Marek for his exploit and documentation (2014)
* zecoxao for public disclose (2023-05-17)
 
==== Bug description ====
It turns out that the "debug key" used to hash "debug" firmwares from AMD SMU effectively works on all retail (CEX) versions of the PS4 AMD SMU firmware as well.
 
According to zecoxao, as SMU is very privileged in PS4 (but not so privileged in PS5), one could probably dump his own PS4 keys/fuses with AMD SMU code execution. This could possibly lead to decryption of latest PS4 games, SEN access on PS4 running out-of-date System Software, conversion of any PS4 between CEX and DEX, as well as decrypting the PS4 Kernel and derived binaries.

==== Patched ====
Maybe on recent PS4 firmwares with a BIOS update that would require a different and possibly more secure digest or signature.
