I think they are talking about the USER_LDT vulnerability posted on NetBSD
site. This what gave it away:
(1) The USER_LDT is a Kernel Level "syscall" Vulnerability and requires a
local user account to be executed.
(2) It only effects I386 systems. Including Solaris as the advisory states.

Does anyone know anything about the vulnerability found by the group LSD in
the x86 systems ? That has helped them to win the Argus Event ?

I would like to study this.
