OpenBSD As recently reported on OpenBSD's errata page, a problem in the mbuf handling of IPv6 has been elevated to a security issue. This means that OpenBSD now has two remote exploits in 10 years, as already reflected on the OpenBSD Homepage. Theo advises to to update the system (or to block IPv6 using PF as a workaround).

I don't think you will ever see something like that. Microsoft doesn't have a hate relationship with the BSDs like they do with linux. The problem is linux users are always touting how wonderful linux is and sooooo much better than Windows. You don't see BSD people doing that and they are a lot more tolerable of Microsoft than linux users are. Additionally Microsoft has used BSD code in the past, not sure if they still do or not.
