The sunrpc cache interface is susceptible to being fooled by a rogue process just reading a 'channel' file. If this happens the kernel may think a valid daemon exists to service the cache when it does not. For example, the following may fool the kernel: cat /proc/net/rpc/auth.unix.gid/channel Change the tracking of readers to writers when considering whether a listener exists as all valid daemon processes either open a channel file O_RDWR or O_WRONLY. While this does not prevent a rogue process from "stealing" a message from the kernel, it does at least improve the kernels perception of whether a valid process servicing the cache exists.
