Resolved an issue where StreetPass would not work in some cases.
Nintendo 3DS firmware update 11.13.0-45 released

En el hilo hablan de una vulnabilidad con el streetpass que podría briquear la consola y no podría corregirse con una actualización. :confused:
Someone on Reddit mentioned that MrNBAYoh is giving a talk at https://halfnarp.events.ccc.de/ later this month. It looks like the exploit that was patched in 11.12 allows for some kind of remote takeover of 3DS units via StreetPass. And this new update is a fix for that patch.
Userland execution is enough to brick a 3ds, so this is not a joke. It couldn't happen "automatically" as you suggest, but a malicious actor could craft a streethax payload that overwrites nand files.
Streetpass may not be super popular anymore these days, but I'd heartily recommend to anybody: keep your 3ds updated if you go hunting for tags. Especially at any nerd-cons where streetpass is known to still be kinda popular.
