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.
