+Candidate: CVE-2009-3623
+Description:
+ "On setting up the callback to the client, we attempt to use the same
+ authentication flavor the client did.  We find an rpc cred to use by
+ calling rpcauth_lookup_credcache(), which assumes that the given
+ authentication flavor has a credentials cache.  However, this is not
+ required to be true--in particular, auth_null does not use one.
+ Instead, we should call the auth's lookup_cred() method.
+ .
+ Without this, a client attempting to mount using nfsv4 and auth_null
+ triggers a null dereference."
+ .
+ The code was introduced in upstream commit 3cef9ab2 (v2.6.31-rc1),
+ fixed in 886e3b7f (v2.6.32-rc1), and was later replaced by 80fc015b in
+ the same version.
