Candidate: CVE-2009-3286 Description: There is an issue with O_EXCL creates on NFSv4 that with enough attempts, it is possible for a lingering file from a failed create that is world-writable but only setuid execute as the user who is attempting these creates. Fortunately, root is not susceptible to this bug, so a setuid root file should not be possible. It might be possible to exploit this to gain access as another user though.
