is how exactly are local privelages gained? For example, under unix only 
programs suid/sgid that are vulnerable can sometimes be exploited to gain root. 

Keep in mind, a program doesn't have to be suid/sgid to be run as root
or other priviledged users.  I don't know of any resources to answer
your main question, but I would focus my efforts on system services and
slimilar daemons.
