Summary
This episode examines a serious security vulnerability in the PlayStation 5 that led to a jailbreak exploit. Jason explains how the vulnerability stemmed from a type mismatch where a size_t value was passed to a function expecting an int parameter, causing potential buffer overflow issues. He demonstrates how this $10,000 bounty-earning exploit could have been easily prevented by enabling proper compiler warnings, particularly -Wconversion, which would have flagged the unsafe type conversion.
