*Update* If you, like some of us, were also wondering why wololo didn’t post this on his Wagic blog, then get this: the exploit/crash file isn’t really his. From his website, here’s his official statement to clarify the matter (emphasis by wololo):
I saw today a buzz on various websites about a youtube video showing a tiff file crashing OFW 5.50, apparently a file created by me.
I am not directly related to this video.
I havenÂ’t looked at the file yet, but it is possible that this is an OLD file I created a while ago and which has proven to be unexploitable beyond firmware 4.20. See here and here (note how old these posts are)
There is also a possibility that someone else found a crash and decided to use my name in the file for some reason, but I find this highly unlikely.
So my official statement right now is the following: Not a fake, not an exploit, just a crash
