A search of FreeBSD security advisories shows two in the last four
years, plus the current unreleased issue. I agree that there is no
reason to allow applications to mmap() at address 0, but surely there
must be a better way to make your case than to sow FUD?
I have no intention to sow FUD. Three such advisories is not much, but
if there is a simple/inexpensive way to ensure that such bugs are not
exploitable to gain root, I think 'we' should consider it.
