Interesting <strong>Kernel</strong> Bugs - <strong>OS</strong> X<br />

<strong>OS</strong> X <strong>Kernel</strong><br />

• user-land dereference bugs are not exploitable<br />

• privilege escalation to root usually highest goal<br />

• memory corruptions or code exec in kernel nice but usually not required<br />

• kernel exploits only triggerable as root are not interesting<br />
