== WebKit exploits ==
== WebKit exploits ==


Contrarly to PS4, on PS5 WebKit exploit usually do not allow arbitrary RW to usermode code sections because of PS5 memory protections (notably XOM). However thanks to leaks of usermode libraries .text section binaries, by other sort of vulnerabilities, and to RW access to WebKit .data section allowed by the WebKit exploit, it is possible to trigger usermode ROP code execution.
WebKit exploits are harder to make and do not even give arbitrary RW because of PS5 memory protections.

=== Modal Browser HTTPS Bypass ===


* It is possible to bypass HTTPS in the modal browser, if you reply to the HTTPS CONNECT with a standard HTTP 1.1 response, instead of attempting to create a tunnel. The web browser will just display that response. The downside to this is that you have no idea of what the contents of even the HTTP REQUEST would have been, but it is useful for redirecting the web browser to any website you want.

==== Bug Description ====
There is a mmap issue involving pointer address misalignment because of a failing assert [https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/blob/main/Source/JavaScriptCore/heap/StructureAlignedMemoryAllocator.cpp#L94 here]. A workaround is to set HAVE_MAP_ALIGNED flag as OFF in OptionsPlayStation.cmake: [https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/commit/626585db9857b7630cf34d82f9a0555720f15bca]. This workaround can be reverted after the mmap issue is resolved. Currently, the workaround is still enabled: [https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/blob/ab2fff92b37e52d6c65e215b155e6b92f1646954/Source/cmake/OptionsPlayStation.cmake#L251]
 
OptionsPlayStation.cmake is present in the PS4 11.00 OSS WebKit source code but does not contain the HAVE_MAP_ALIGNED flag, and according to dates, this might concern only the PS5.

Discovered by cheburek3000. Released on 2023-02-07 by cheburek3000.
 
=== Bug Description ===
 
Steps:
 
1. Find kernel_pmap_store offset in kernel data segment. You can guess its location by specific signature (see guess_kernel_pmap_store_offset code). Luckily kernel_pmap_store has physical and virtual addresses for PML4.
 
2. Through physical and virtual addresses for PML4, you can find physical memory mapped directly to the kernel memory (DMAP). See PADDR_TO_DMAP macro and vmparam.h from FreeBSD for reference.
 
3. Use page tables to convert any kernel virtual address to physical address (see vaddr_to_paddr code).
 
4. Access data by physical address through DMAP.

=== Bug Description ===
 
The _umtx_op(2) system call provides support for the implementation of synchronization primitives between threads, and is used by the 1:1 Threading Library (libthr, -lthr) to implement IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (POSIX.1-2001) pthread locks, like mutexes, condition variables and so on. In particular, its UMTX_OP_SHM operation provides support for anonymous shared memory associated to a particular physical address, which is used to implement process-shared mutexes (PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED).
 
Concurrent removals of such a mapping by using the UMTX_SHM_DESTROY sub-request of UMTX_OP_SHM can lead to decreasing the reference count of the object representing the mapping too many times, causing it to be freed too early.
 
umtx_shm_unref_reg_locked() would unconditionally drop the "registry" reference, tied to USHMF_LINKED.
 
This is not a problem for caller umtx_shm_object_terminated(), which operates under the 'umtx_shm_lock' lock end-to-end, but it is for indirect caller umtx_shm(), which drops the lock between umtx_shm_find_reg() and the call to umtx_shm_unref_reg(true) that deregisters the umtx shared region (from 'umtx_shm_registry'; umtx_shm_find_reg() only finds registered shared mutexes).
 
Thus, two concurrent user-space callers of _umtx_op() with UMTX_OP_SHM and flags UMTX_SHM_DESTROY, both progressing past umtx_shm_find_reg() but before umtx_shm_unref_reg(true), would then decrease twice the reference count for the single reference standing for the shared mutex's registration.
 
A malicious code exercizing the UMTX_SHM_DESTROY sub-request in parallel can panic the kernel or enable further Use-After-Free attacks, potentially including code execution or Capsicum sandbox escape.

Not yet because even though there is ChendoChap's method to execute usermode code in WebKit, there is no PS5 kernel dump to build a kernel ROP chain. Exploiting this kernel vulnerability blind is almost impossible because once the USB device is inserted it corrupts the kernel heap memory and if the offsets in the kernel ROP chain are bad it creates a kernel panic.


Edit: it may now be possible to build a valid PS5 exFAThax payload thanks to PS5 kernel .text segment dumps for System Software versions <= 2.70 thanks to Hypervisor exploits.

=== Bug Description ===
=== Bug Description ===
 
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.
In FreeBSD 13.0-STABLE before n245764-876ffe28796c, 12.2-STABLE before r369857, 13.0-RELEASE before p1, and 12.2-RELEASE before p7, a system call triggering a fault could cause SMAP protections to be disabled for the duration of the system call. This weakness could be combined with other kernel bugs to craft an exploit. 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.

=== dlsym syscall removed ===
Since PS5 System Software version 5.00, dlsym syscall is disabled (?removed?). dlsym could be used to resolve functions and variables addresses by their name. This was convenient for multi-firmware support.
Workaround: in the same way as in PSP and PS Vita HBL, and vitasploit, a workaround is to resolve functions by per-version offsets manually.
=== MAP_SELF flag removed ===
Since PS5 System Software version 5.00, MAP_SELF flag is nonexistent. MAP_SELF flag could be used for decrypting PS5 usermode SELFs such as eboot.bin and SUPRXs for games and applications, and system SELFs from /system and /system_ex, etc.
Workaround: using the PSP functions directly like Specter does.

Since patching the kernel is the most straightforward and direct way to achieve true homebrew on the PlayStation 5, bypassing or compromising the PS5 Hypervisor is necessary. Getting code execution in the PS5 Hypervisor allows one to dump and modify kernel .text segment, and to disable some protections. Moreover, chained with a higher level vulnerability, Hypervisor code can dump AMD PSP memory.

And by derivation, mostly like on PS Vita:
* secure modules
* kernel boot loader / BIOS
* non-secure kernel

The apic_ops structure is located in the PS5 kernel .data segment which has RW permissions. Using a kernel vulnerability, you can overwrite a function pointer inside the apic_ops structure, like xapic_mode. This allows to launch a ROP chain but one has to bypass the CFI protection. After doing a PS5 suspend/resume cycle, the ROP code will be executed before Hypervisor restarts. The ROP chain can apply patches in kernel .text section.

=== Bug description ===
 
On PS5 System Software version 2.70 and lower, the System Quality Assurance (QA) flags are shared between the Hypervisor and the guest kernel. When the hypervisor initializes, the init code for constructing nested page tables will check QA flags for the System Level (SL) debugging flag. If this flag is set, the nested Page Table Entries (PTEs) will not have the xotext bit set for kernel .text pages, and further the kernel .text pages will also have the write bit set.
 
These flags are not reinitialized by the Secure Loader upon resume from PS5 sleep mode, though the hypervisor is. By setting the SL flag, then putting the system to sleep and resuming, we can edit the guest kernel's page tables to make kernel .text pages readable and writable, allowing kernel dump and patches.

=== Bug description ===
 
On PS5 System Software version 2.70 and lower, the Hypervisor's [[Hypervisor#Hypercalls]] virtual tables are shared with the guest kernel. It is possible to hijack some entries (for example VMMCALL_HV_SET_CPUID_PS4) in the hypercalls virtual table to jump to a ROP chain. On System Software version 2.70 and lower, this virtual table is stored in the kernel .data segment. By using two ROP chains, one for setting up hypervisor registers and one for executing code in hypervisor. Indeed, the registers used by the Hypervisor are preserved accross Virtual Machine exit boundary. The ROP chain disables Nested Paging (NPT) and Guest Mode Execute Trap (GMET), which allows us to disable eXecute Only Memory (XOM) aka xotext in the kernel Page Table Entries (PTEs) to dump it, as well as enabling write in the PTEs to hook/patch the kernel as well.
 
This method requires a fair number of gadgets and offsets, which is the main reason this exploit is deprecated over the Byepervisor bug #2. This method also currently only breaks the hypervisor on the core the ROP chain runs on. The hypervisor is still active on other cores and would need to be disabled.

On PS5 System Software version 2.70 and lower, the Hypervisor is integrated as part of the kernel binary. This makes Hypervisor exploitation easier as it can be triggered by usermode directly without the need of a kernel exploit. Later versions have the Hypervisor as a separately loaded component.

= Secure Loader (software) - AMD Platform Security Processor (hardware) =
 
* The PS5 [[APU]] is a custom AMD ZEN 2 Ryzen chip that includes the [[AMD Platform Security Processor]] and the AMD SMU.
 
* The AMD Platform Security Processor runs the [[Secure Loader]] that is in charge of loading and executing [[Secure Modules]], like on PS4. The Secure Loader exports some SM management services to kernel through a mailbox.
 
* With a [[Hypervisor]] exploit, it is possible to exploit a vulnerability to dump the AMD Platform Security Processor memory. This dump contains the PS5 [[Secure Loader]]. This leads to PS5 symmetric root keys dump, that can then be used for decryption of most Secure Modules. This allows to decrypt on PC most parts of the PS5 System Software files (see also PS Vita 0xAA key fail impact) including:
* [[Secure Modules]]
* [[PUP]]
* kernel boot loader / [[BIOS]]
* non-secure [[Kernel]]
* usermode system [[Modules|modules]]

=== Bug description ===
 
A software vulnerability triggered from the PS5 Hypervisor leads to [[AMD Platform Security Processor]] memory dump.
 
It must be noted that Shawn Hoffman (fail0verflow, Microsoft Offensive Security Research) reported in 2020, 2021 and 2022 many vulnerabilities affecting AMD Security Processor (ASP), AMD System Management Unit (SMU), AMD Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV), and other AMD platform components.
 
From [https://www.amd.com/en/resources/product-security/bulletin/amd-sb-1021.html AMD Server Vulnerabilities – November 2021]:
CVE-2021-26315, CVE-2021-26335, CVE-2021-26336, CVE-2021-26337, CVE-2021-26338, CVE-2021-26351, CVE-2021-26352.
 
The most probable vulnerabilities that could have been used are:
* CVE-2021-26315 6.9 (Medium): A CPU internal ROM improperly implements decryption of signed off-chip firmware. An attacker with physical access or high privileges could potentially exploit this vulnerability leading to the execution of arbitrary code on the PSP, compromising the authenticity of the attestation state. -> Note that flatz stated that he used only software, including Hypervisor code execution, but not hardware for his exploit, so it is the "attacker with high privileges" part that might be concerned.
* CVE-2021-26335 7.5 (High): Improper input and range checking in the AMD Secure Processor (ASP) boot loader image header may allow an attacker to use attacker-controlled values prior to signature validation potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution. -> This reminds of the [https://wiki.henkaku.xyz/vita/Vulnerabilities#First_Loader_SLSK_buffer_overflow CMeP vulnerability] about [https://wiki.henkaku.xyz/vita/SLSK SLSK] header parsing found by Team Molecule for PS Vita.
* Other Shawn Hoffman's CVEs are related to the AMD System Management Unit (SMU) but mainly to trigger Denial of Service and it is not clear how AMD SMU could be used to dump AMD PSP's memory.
 
From [https://www.amd.com/en/resources/product-security/bulletin/amd-sb-1028.html AMD Server Vulnerabilities - May 2022]:
CVE-2021-26347, CVE-2021-26350, CVE-2021-26372, CVE-2021-26373, CVE-2021-26375, CVE-2021-26376, CVE-2021-26378
 
These CVEs are mostly related to AMD SMU, not AMD PSP, and trigger Denial of Service but not Information Leak nor Code Execution.
 
From [https://www.amd.com/en/resources/product-security/bulletin/amd-sb-1027.html AMD Client Vulnerabilities – May 2022]:
CVE-2021-26335, CVE-2021-26336, CVE-2021-26337, CVE-2021-26347, CVE-2021-26350, CVE-2021-26351, CVE-2021-26352, CVE-2021-26372, CVE-2021-26373, CVE-2021-26375, CVE-2021-26376, CVE-2021-26378
 
These AMD Client CVEs are already listed in the 2021 and 2022 AMD Server Security Bulletins.

=== Bug description ===
 
CVE-2023-20593 works on all AMD Zen 2 class processors, which includes at least the following products:
 
    AMD Ryzen 3000 Series Processors
    AMD Ryzen PRO 3000 Series Processors
    AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3000 Series Processors
    AMD Ryzen 4000 Series Processors with Radeon Graphics
    AMD Ryzen PRO 4000 Series Processors
    AMD Ryzen 5000 Series Processors with Radeon Graphics
    AMD Ryzen 7020 Series Processors with Radeon Graphics
    AMD EPYC “Rome” Processors
 
There is no proof of concept specifically for the PS5, however we do know the PS5 uses a custom AMD Zen 2 chip. This is a hardware bug that can be triggered by software to exploit the system.
