Comex has released a video showing a working Wii exploit in the Super Smash Bros. Brawl game. Once released, it will give Wii owners another way to install homebrew onto their systems.

From the release notes:
Exploit by comex, ELF loading code by Team Twiizers. Bug used was discovered by svpe.
This exploit exploits a vulnerability in SSBB’s stage builder code to run arbitrary homebrew code. Currently it will load an elf file from /boot.elf on the SD card.
This exploit differs from others in the fact that it is quite difficult for Nintendo to patch. There is no method on the Wii for patching games, and as this exploit does not go through the System Menu, it can not be patched by Nintendo at this time.
Join us in #sssb on EFNet (irc.efnet.net) to discuss! Release is when its done (aka: soon).
All you have to do to use this exploit is delete all custom stages on your Wii, then copy over the file. When you etner the Stage Builder menu, it will automatically run /boot.elf on SD.
DON’T NAME THIS EXPLOIT! LEAVE THAT TO COMEX!
Interesting news, homebrew goes on once more :), funny how all the biggest exploits are from Nintendos biggest games :P
