Modders reported that with the 13.50 firmware update, Sony quietly made changes to the security system:
Reports are confirmed that the Use-After-Free (UAF) vulnerability, which was used to enter userland, is completely closed.
This update closed a loophole that would have allowed launching a potential Kernel Exploit (Kexploit; if it is ever found).
It is also noted that the update will prevent the launch of unofficial software: "[the Use-After-Free fix] practically destroys any hope of homebrew for this version for a very long time (possibly years)."
