PlayStation 4 was a fork of FreeBSD 9, and is immune to this bug introduced in 14. Sony also changes a LOT, I'm not sure anything dealing with unix credentials even exists in this fork. It's not clear how much FreeBSD is even used in PlayStation 5 (2020), but it would be based off 12 or earlier (also immune to this bug from 14) (13 was released in 2021).
What about PlayStation 3?
Whilst all are "soft-moddable" via HEN, a large number of the Slim and Superslims are not compatible with full custom firmware. Recently a hardware based exploit 'badWDSD' released which allow CFW, although even still a small number of Superslims are not compatible.
I thought it went without saying that PS3 (2006) firmware isn't based on FreeBSD 14 (2023).
