One of the earlier iPhone jailbreaks was a tiff image... complicated decompression/rendering algorithms leave room for implementation errors, which can be taken advantage of.
At some point it was also used as a way to get a custom firmware onto a PSP.
Then modders somehow managed to update the batteries' firmware (cf "Pandora battery") and use that. Sony couldn’t patch it, and it was basically game over for them until they released a new generation of hardware, with motherboards immune to the trick.

Fun times.
