Two vulnerabilities were found in cfservd, a daemon which acts as both a file server and a remote cfagent executor. This daemon authenticates requests from the network and processes them. If exploited, the first vulnerability allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code with those privileges of root. The second vulnerability allows an attacker to crash the server, denying service to further requests.

Bumping to 2.1.9 seems to work.

Committed 2.1.9 directly to stable on x86 after testing it on my machine.  As soon as sparc stables it, we're good to go.
