The sctp_auth_ep_set_hmacs function in net/sctp/auth.c in the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (sctp) implementation in the Linux kernel before 2.6.26.4, when the SCTP-AUTH extension is enabled, does not verify that the identifier index is within the bounds established by SCTP_AUTH_HMAC_ID_MAX, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information via a crafted SCTP_HMAC_IDENT IOCTL request involving the sctp_getsockopt function, a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-4113.

IBM Notes and Domino 8.5.x before 8.5.3 FP6 IF3 and 9.x before 9.0.1 FP1 on 32-bit Linux platforms use incorrect gcc options, which makes it easier for remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by leveraging the absence of the NX protection mechanism and placing crafted x86 code on the stack, aka SPR KLYH9GGS9W.

Kernel Samepage Merging (KSM) in the Linux kernel 2.6.32 through 4.x does not prevent use of a write-timing side channel, which allows guest OS users to defeat the ASLR protection mechanism on other guest OS instances via a Cross-VM ASL INtrospection (CAIN) attack. NOTE: the vendor states "Basically if you care about this attack vector, disable deduplication."
