Missing length check of payload in net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c:_sctp_make_chunk() function allows denial of service :

An error in the ‘_sctp_make_chunk()’ function (net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c) when handling SCTP, packet length can be exploited by a malicious local user to cause a kernel crash and a DoS.
(CVE-2018-5803)

Mishandling mutex within libsas allowing local Denial of Service

The Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) implementation in the Linux kernel mishandles a mutex within libsas. This allows local users to cause a denial of service (deadlock) by triggering certain error-handling code. (CVE-2017-18232)

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s client-side implementation of the cifs protocol. This flaw allows an attacker controlling the server to kernel panic a client which has the CIFS server mounted.(CVE-2018-1066)
