   A kernel buffer overflow exists in the NFS mount code. An attacker may
   use this overflow to execute arbitrary code in kernel mode. However,
   only users with
   <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=mount&sektion=2">mount</a>
   privileges can initiate this attack.  In default installs, only super-user has
   mount privileges.  The kern.usermount <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sysctl&sektion=3">sysctl</a> controls whether other users have mount privileges.
   <a href="ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.9/common/012_nfs.patch">A source code patch exists which remedies the problem</a>
