The upcoming firmware update for PS4 will fix a "useful" bug in Sony's browser. Useful as in "useful for people who have some x64 reversing skills".

Yes, its not related to the bug used to exploit the Wii U.

my best guess will be that everyone will be looking for said bug now, seeing as they can downgrade if they have the dump from previous firmwares.

Surprisingly it doesn't look like the new Vita update will be rolling out with a more up to date WebKit build.

Cheers nas. I've not really looked into the PS4... starting to feel like I bet on the wrong horse (Vita).
