Nevertheless, this is the first public released exploit for PS4 in a very long time (the last release was a 3.55 Webkit PoC in August 2016), and could trigger some further releases if it sparkles interest in the scene.
In other words, this is not something that is directly useful to the end user, and does not imply any jailbreak is coming soon (Firmware 3.55 has had a webkit exploit for quite some time now, but is still not fully hacked). I would expect an upcoming release of known tools such as PS4 playground for tinkerers to easily start playing. The hacker gave the precision that this gives you arbitrary read/write, meaning hackers can start poking into memory. This is not a full console jailbreak, simply a usermode exploit within webkit at this point. What does the PS4 4.0x Webkit Exploit mean to the end user? We might see a writeup on the vulnerability at some point.
I assume people can start digging into the details of the exploit, however qwertyoruiop gave the precision that the exploit is triggered by a Use After Free vulnerability.
