New Exploit found! Libtiff Exploit for Firmware 5.50

Update: Seems this is an older tiff that wololo made and at the moment its just a crash that could or couldn’t lead to a exploit.

Things are certainly getting interesting as of late… Recent exploits which lead to chickHEN and now PSP developer wololo has found another. This time its a Libtiff Exploit for Firmware 5.50. Here’s some video proof.




So what does this mean? Well it *could* lead to another ChickHEN for 5.50 or even a way to downgrade from Firmware 5.50 to 5.03 so users can run ChickHEN on their PSP’s. We’ll just have to wait and see what comes of this. Care to try this yourself? Download below, put the files in your PSP/PHOTO folder and view. See if it crashes your PSP 5.50 Firmware.
