Bodo Möller, Thai Duong and Krzysztof Kotowicz of Google discovered a flaw in the design of SSL version 3.0 that would allow an attacker to calculate the plaintext of secure connections, allowing, for example, secure HTTP cookies to be stolen.

Trusted Execution in IBM AIX 6.1 uses an incorrect pathname argument in a call to the trustchkblockwrite function, which might allow local users to modify trusted files, related to an error in the support for links in the TSDFILESLOCK policy.

The Fibre Channel driver for QLogic adapters in IBM AIX 6.1 and 7.1 does not properly handle DMA resource limitations, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system hang) via vectors that generate a large amount of DMA I/O, related to a deadlock in timer processing across CPUs.

fuser in IBM AIX 6.1 and 7.1, and VIOS 2.2.1.4-FP-25 SP-02, does not properly restrict the -k option, which allows local users to kill arbitrary processes via a crafted command line.
