[luau] FreeBSD Local Root exploit... it works ;)

[R. Scott Belford]

Hold on.  This defies all that I understand about *bsd. (very easy to do 
since I know so little)   You are telling me that there is a local root 
exploit, known of for 13 years, that you are able to take advantage of 
today?  Does this mean that freebsd boxes are running with this hole now 
if no one patched them?  I thought this distribution was know to be more 
responsive to security issues?  Most interesting.
