You talkin to me?
Although no proof has been given at this point, CTurt is a trusted source of information on this, as he has released lots of his work on the 1.76 Webkit exploit already: the PS4 Playground tools and PS4 SDK come to mind.
There are not much details on the vulnerabilities used at this point, but it is fair to assume the exploit relies on the 1.76 webkit exploit as the launch vector. As such, although that Kernel exploit might be available on later PS4 firmwares (and, we might dream, up to the latest firmware), it is probably only going to be useful for the handful of people who have stayed on 1.76.
So, there are a few ways this could play:
CTurt and the people who worked on the kernel exploit publish a few proof videos, but keep the exploit to themselves, at least for now, until more significant progress is made on the exploit
The exploit is confirmed patched on recent firmwares, in which case they can freely publish it for people who want to investigate more (but this means it will not be useful for “normal” people, until people use this kernel exploit to learn more about the PS4 internals)
Somebody leaks the information, the exploit is patched before it becomes useful
ps4_apu
It is also a bit early at this point to understand what Kernel access truly means here, and if it’s a “full” PS4 Jailbreak. I can picture clueless gamers already calling out piracy as a dangerous conclusion of this game, but kernel access does not necessarily mean that hackers have found a way (or intend to) break the applications and games encryption. It probably means, however, better access to the console hardware and ways to run unsigned code (think homebrews and emulators at this point).

I just puked in my mouth when you said that, and thats not a good thing. There is no ps4 jailbreak there may never be a full one e.g Backup games or someshit
So stop believing anything that says PS4 JAILBREAK REAL!!!! cause its fake or a scam

hahaha that's funny people like you always say this even before they jailbreak the ps3 people said the same thing, you people saying this because you don't want the console to be jailbroken but the day will come
