The "Dirty COW" is a Linux kernel vulnerability, which is due to an error in the implementation of copy-on-write. It does not affect other Unices, including NetBSD and the other BSDs. The exploit is targeted for the Linux kernel, and does not compile on other Unix systems [1]. [1]: http://security.stackexchange.com/questions/140444/does-dirty-cow-affect-osx-kernel -- Kenneth B.
