+Candidate: CVE-2009-1072
+Description:
+ nfsd in the Linux kernel before 2.6.28.9 does not drop the
+ CAP_MKNOD capability before handling a user request in a
+ thread, which allows local users to create device nodes, as
+ demonstrated on a filesystem that has been exported with
+ the root_squash option.
