AFAIK OS/X is based on a back level FBSD code base, 2.26 or something. I *heard* that the next gen is *supposed* to be based on CURRENT (5.x). For purists, OS/X *is* based on Mach, but Mach was written from the earlier FBSD (2.x) code line. As a consequence I suspect that there are at *least* 60-70 local suid root exploits on OS/X (which matters little except for servers of course). A quick Google will retrieve several ancient FBSD local sploits (and code for the k1dd13z). If anyone can confirm/clarify my suspicions I'd appreciate it.
