In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

NFS: Check the TLS certificate fields in nfs_match_client()

If the TLS security policy is of type RPC_XPRTSEC_TLS_X509, then the
cert_serial and privkey_serial fields need to match as well since they
define the client's identity, as presented to the server.
