If it really is so trivial, you are welcome to post example exploit code *which you have verified to be effective on a reasonably configured FreeBSD box* to freebsd-security@freebsd.org, or submit it in a PR. If you need the information to be treated confidentially, you can contact security-officer@freebsd.org instead of posting to the list.
