Hacking Possible vulnerability in firmware 12.0.0?

[toniisound]

Hello everybody,
Do you think there will be any vulnerability in firmware 11 or 12.0.0 due to the changelog of version 12.0.1?
I say this for the correctness of the BSD Sockets.
Could there be a vulnerability due to the bug fixed?

even if theres is no one would work on it cause we already have better methods just go and buy OG v1 if anyone is going to work on that will be for the Switch Pro or what ever is named
theres No Point in waiting for exploits like that on the regular Switch

You shouldn't hope for such things, it's not good for the brands.

Why should I care about a big corporation's financial/reputation status?
It's not like Nintendo hasn't made a ton of money even with the v1's having a blown wide-open exploit.

1. bug != exploit
2. Exploiting most userspace shit doesn't get you anything interesting.

No, the last firmware we had hope for an exploit was 7.X. Anything past that makes it harder and harder to find a hack.

I think there was a small exploit in 8.0.0 that @SciresM mentioned on twitter, but it only allowed userland stuff afaik. I think he said it wasn't a full exploit. I just remember reading something about that. that's the most hope for Mariko units other than a modchip, but it was patched on the next update. I don't know much about switch hacking, don't even know what a lot of the terminology, but I have read some of the tweets people have posted. I sometimes read up on switch stuff when nothing is going on but switch questions on temp. I feel out of my element then.

apparently, it was 8.0.1. here's the tweet:

There's an 8.0.1-only issue that can be used to pwn the kernel, because NVidia lied to Nintendo about how to protect against TSEC-bypassing-smmu-hax and they didn't get a real fix until 8.1.0.

It's not a total control exploit.

firmware revision are a common thing, if we had an exploit for every revision we wouldn't need an exploit for the latest revision.
If you want to hack your switch , get a hackable switch. There is no reason to wait

I've lost all hope for a software exploit on v2 switch at this point.
