=== Decryption of any GEN3 PUP ===


=== PS1 games savedata exploits ===
* Discovered by flatz.


See [https://www.psdevwiki.com/ps1/Vulnerabilities PS1 savedata exploits on PS1 Dev Wiki].
* A bug in the handlers of PUP decryption allows any PS4 on FW 1.62 GEN3 or below to decrypt any GEN3 PUP (retail, testkit, devkit, beta) with a version above 1.00 (post-prototype).


Official PS Classic games (warning: some may be remastered, to check) on PS4/PS5 available on PS Store:
* SM code doesn't reset state after SMI checks failure, so to decrypt arbitrary PUP, you need to ignore mailbox error after PupDecryptHeader cmd (1).
* Ape Escape - First-time NA re-release on PS4/PS5
* Cool Boarders (2000)
* Hot Shots Golf - First-time NA re-release on PS4/PS5
* I.Q. Intelligence Qube - First-time NA re-release on PS4/PS5
* Jumping Flash! - Free PS4/PS5 version for PS3 PSone Classics owners
* MediEvil (1998)
* Mr. Driller - PlayStation Plus Premium subscription only (?)
* Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee - Free PS4/PS5 version for PS3 PSone Classics owners
* G-Police (1997)

* Twisted Metal 2 / Twisted Metal EX UP9000-CUSA43361_00-SCUS943060000000 or JP9000-CUSA43362_00-SIPS600210000000
* Wild Arms - Free PS4/PS5 version for PS3 PSone Classics owners
* Worms World Party - First-time NA re-release on PS4/PS5
* Worms Armageddon - First-time NA re-release on PS4/PS5

* Fixed around 1.70

* https://www.reddit.com/r/PlayStationPlus/comments/vfg39t/is_there_a_clear_list_of_which_ps1_classic_ps4ps5/


"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."
=== Decryption of any usermode SELF from FW 1.00 to 3.70 ===


Official PS Classic games (warning: some may be remastered, to check) on PS4/PS5 sold on Bluray Discs:
* Sony reused keys from FW 1.00 to 3.70 on usermode modules. As a result, any usermode module from those FWs can be decrypted on a PS4 running FW between 1.00 and 3.70.
* Tomba! by LRG (for PS5: UP6893-PPSA21381_00-0240103642659799-U001)
* TBA 2025 by LRG: Tomba 2 The Evil Swine Return
* TBA 2025 by LRG: Gex Trilogy: Gex, Gex Enter the Gecko, Gex 3 Deep Cover Gecko
* TBA 2025 by LRG: Clock Tower: Rewind https://store.playstation.com/en-us/concept/10010305 Notice: PS1 Clock Tower is not the original game. 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.
* TBA 2025 by LRG: Fear Effect
* TBA 2025 by LRG: Fighting Force and Fighting Force 2


"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."
* Fixed in 4.00 with the introduction of new keyset.


=== PS2 games savedata exploits ===
=== .strtab/.symtab kernel table of symbols kept on very low FWs ===


See [https://www.psdevwiki.com/ps2/Vulnerabilities#PS2_Savedata_exploits PS2 savedata exploits on PS2 Dev Wiki].
* Sony used to have two tables of symbols on very low versions: .strtab/.symtab and .dynstr/.dynsym (.strtab/.symtab had all symbols, .dynstr/.dynsym had ~75% of them).


Official PS2onPS4 games sold on the PS Store (as of September, 2024):
* Seen in 1.01 kernel. Patched in 1.03.
* ADK DAMASHII™ UP0576-CUSA03783_00-SLPS259060000001 https://image.api.playstation.com/cdn/UP0576/CUSA03783_00/BpMMUC8q1MRAsL9iWDh6vbW844hq3JXK.png
 
* Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits
=== .dynstr/.dynsym kernel table of symbols kept on low FWs ===
* Art of Fighting Anthology

* Bully (Canis Canem Edit)
 
* Dark Chronicle (Dark Cloud 2) UP9000-CUSA02037_00-SCUS972130000001 https://image.api.playstation.com/cdn/UP9000/CUSA02037_00/hIKSKqBMerypNW49TCECATZSBBUcSBph.png

* Discovered by flatz.
* FantaVision
 
* Fatal Fury Battle Archives Vol. 2
* Dump IDPS from 2 EID blocks from kernel: sceSblAuthMgrDriveData(0, in_buf, 0x160, out_buf, 0xA4, 1). Pass 0x160 bytes at 0x90C00 from sflash0s1.crypt into `in_buf` and dump `out_buf`.
* Forbidden Siren EP9000-CUSA02274_00-SCES519200000001 patch 1.01 requires PS4 3.10

* It is possible because someone from sony forgot to encrypt output and that is how it was patched later.
* Ghosthunter (English, Japanese) UP9000-CUSA47996_00-SLUS209930000000
 
* GTA III
* Patched in 3.00 retail. Works on any TestKit/DevKit FW.

=== Partial SAMU KeyRings bruteforce by missing HMAC length check in secure kernel ===
* Harvest Moon: Save the Homeland
 
* Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life Special Edition
* Discovered by flatz.
* Hot Shots® Tennis (Everybody's Tennis) UP9000-CUSA02193_00-SCUS976100000001 https://image.api.playstation.com/cdn/UP9000/CUSA02193_00/FrJXexHruy7pjB6bCgDidXRbakNfNJJc.png
 
* Indigo Prophecy
* PS4 Crypto Coprocessor (CCP) interface in secure kernel has a bug that allows to dump (or better saying, bruteforce) key rings from SAMU.
* Jak and Daxter™ HP9000-CUSA08427_00-SCPS560030000001 patch 1.01 requires PS4 4.73
That is how AES/HMAC keys from PFS, portability keys, VTRM keys, etc can be retrieved. A crypto flaw was in ability to issue HMAC operation with key length < 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.  
* Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy™ UP9000-CUSA02522_00-SCUS971240000001 patch 1.01 requires PS4 4.73
 
* Jak and Daxter™: The Precursor Legacy EP9000-CUSA07934_00-SCES503610000001 patch 1.03 requires PS4 4.73
* 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 didn't 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...

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.

* https://wololo.net/2012/09/01/when-the-psp-and-the-vita-show-their-battle-scars/
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.

=== PS4/PS5 PS2emu sandbox escape (mast1c0re) ===
Contrarly to Aeolia, Belize has ROM readout protection and clears stack which makes it more secure.


Advantages of the PS4/PS5 PS2emu sandbox escape exploit over most WebKit exploits:
Old notes:
* 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

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).

==== Bug Description ====
== Usermode Exploits (Game Savedata) ==
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 ====
=== PS1 games savedata exploits ===

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 ====
"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."


Not confirmed:
=== PS2 games savedata exploits ===
Pay Day 2, Mafia III, God of War (which one?).

[https://web.archive.org/web/20241007081407/https://doc.dl.playstation.net/doc/ps4-oss/webkit.html WebKit sources] archived currently up to version 11.00. Useful for people that cannot access PlayStation URLs and also for when Sony will inevitably stop hosting the sources.
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.
=== FW ?6.00-11.52? - get_by_id_with_this associated with ProxyObject can leak JSScope objects ===
* 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

==== Bug Description ====
==== Bug Description ====
* TODO: document the general vulnerability coming from |this|.
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.
 
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.

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.
== Usermode Exploits (BD-J) ==


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.
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

==== Bug Description ====
==== Bug Description ====
It is required to recompute length properly when resize happens during TypedArray copyWithin.
TO ADD DESCRIPTION OF EACH ONE OF THE 5 BUGS:


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.
* #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)


The issue was patched by aborting the copy if either of the two variables to or from is larger than the updated length.
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.


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.

==== 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.

==== Bug Description ====
==== 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.
* TODO
 
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.

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.

==== Bug Description ====
==== Bug Description ====
It is possible for JavaScript to change the type property of an input field. WebKit needs to gracefully handle this case.
When attempting to update a vector via sortCompactedVector() - data is written based on a pointer, though the pointer is not re-updated nor nulled. When this memory in free()'d, the reference is maintained and thus memory corruption can occur.
 
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/)

==== Bug Description ====
==== 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.
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.

==== Bug Description ====
==== Bug Description ====
By forcing addRule() to be called on a CSS Selector via window.getMatchedCSSRules(), a 1-bit OOB write can be achieved and leveraged to corrupt heap memory.
By forcing the compare function to reduce the size of the array, trailing items will be written out of bounds (OOB write), leading to heap memory corruption.

* zoogie for porting Wii U exploit to New3DS
* CelesteBlue for testing on PS4 FW 2.03


==== Analysis ====
* 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.
* [https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=240124 Chromium bug report with a PoC]
* 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.


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

==== Bug Description ====
* 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.
By forcing the compare function to reduce the size of the array, trailing items will be written out of bounds (OOB write), leading to heap memory corruption.
* 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.

=== Device access blocked/removed from webbrowser ===
pppoe(4): fix CVE-2022-29867 - discovery phase local network
mbuf corruption.
[martin, ticket #1740]


* Around 6.50-6.70, device access got blocked or removed. Now you can no longer access devices from the web browser.
Do not allocate mbuf clusters when the caller (eroneously) asks
for more than MCLBYTES size, instead fail the allocation.


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


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

==== Bug Description ====
==== Bug Description ====
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.
The PS4 kernel exFAT driver has a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability that can be triggered by inserting a malicious USB storage device in PS4 in addition to having usermode code execution. Exploitation requires to flash a crafted exFAT image to a common USB storage device.

==== 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.


Fixes CVE-2022-29867.
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%.

==== Exploit Implementation ====
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 ====
The PS4 kernel exFAT driver has a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability that can be triggered by inserting a malicious USB storage device in PS4 in addition to having usermode code execution. Exploitation requires to flash a crafted exFAT image to a common USB storage device.
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 ====
==== 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.
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).


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.

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.
==== Analysis ====
* https://www.cvedetails.com/cve/CVE-2018-17155/
* coming soon by CelesteBlue


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 ====
System call 421 or sys_getcontext() initializes the structure pointed at by ucp to the currently active context. The vulnerability is, some areas of memory copied out are not initialized, and thus the function leaks memory at certain spots. This vector was patched in 6.20, as now before the buffer is used it is initialized to 0 via bzero().

==== Bug Description ====
==== 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.
System call 634 or sys_thr_get_ucontext() allows to obtain information on a given thread. The vulnerability is, some areas of memory copied out are not initialized, and thus the function leaks memory at certain spots. This vector was patched in 4.50, as now before the buffer is used it is initialized to 0 via bzero().
 
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 ====
==== 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).
Type confusion in the namedobj system once exploited can lead to an arbitrary free() allowing an attacker to craft a use-after-free() (UAF) situation to corrupt kernel memory. This can be leveraged to eventually obtain an arbitrary code execution primitive in supervisor mode (ring0).

==== Bug Description ====
==== 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).
Integer overflow in the sys_dynlib_prepare_dlclose() system call can lead to a heap overflow causing memory corruption, allowing an attacker to obtain code execution in supervisor mode (ring0).

==== Bug Description ====
==== Bug Description ====
Type confusion in the namedobj system once exploited can lead to an arbitrary free() allowing an attacker to craft a use-after-free() (UAF) situation to corrupt kernel memory. This can be leveraged to eventually obtain an arbitrary code execution primitive in supervisor mode (ring0).
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.

==== Bug Description ====
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.
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.
==== SMAP bypass method: JOP ====


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.
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."

'''Yes''' in some FW <= 4.05 and >= 2.00 as set_ldt was removed. The PS4 is maybe not vulnerable because of a possible lack of 32bit implementation for syscalls.


==== Tested ====
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.

==== 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.

=== 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.

=== 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.

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`.

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:
 
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).

=== 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 ====
* 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))
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.
* 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)
 
* 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.
=== Untested - Arbitrary code execution in AMD SMU by custom firmware ===

* 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.
