        This exploit leverages a stack buffer 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 as an argument, a local user can overwrite the stack with arbitrary
        content.

        Mac OS X Lion Kernel <= xnu-1699.32.7 except xnu-1699.24.8 are affected.
