I am not tracking closely to be honest since I have not being working with Illumos based distros for 5 years +/- when we were using omniOS I do not remember things being too bad. Not sure what % of vuln. are Oracle Solaris specific given that majority of orig. SUN eng. left long time ago Illumos might be in much better shape vs Solaris.

Good point does not look too horrible as far as track record though :) less than number of docker vuln. and about the same as vmware which is an actual vm

Please don't take the first two urls I found with a single google search as a comprehensive survey of Illumos kernel vulnerabilities over the last few years.
