The forums down at Lan.St have gone abuzz yesterday after a possible buffer exploit has been found. Details are being carefully kept under wraps at the moment to protect the new discovery, but homebrew veteran wololo has confirmed that it's legit and is hopeful that it could lead to a new breakthrough.
wololo, whose name is often heard alongside the Half Byte Loader, noted that the new exploit is a "very nice VSH user mode exploit (or very close to it, since there is full control on ra)." He also expressed willingness to work on the new exploit, though he himself admits lack of experience in dealing with VSH vulnerabilities.
This user exploit also seems to need a kernel exploit, which is similar to how ChickHEN worked. There is plenty of speculation surrounding its possible uses, but everything's still up in the air for now.
We'll be keeping an eye out for updates as they come.
