Just like the topic says, are we vulnerable to this new exploit or not? If so, how can we patch it? I can't seem to find any information regarding the Note 4 being patched, only the Note 5 and thereafter.

I too was searching for this answer and a Google search led me to this: https://9to5google.com/2018/01/10/meltdown-spectre-android-updates/
I'm still searching for official info but I'm not surprised the Note 4 isn't getting patched. I'm more miffed my 2016 revision Tab S2 isn't getting patched. That sucks.

I saw the same page. Someone out there has to know how to patch a security update for us and other users of older phones. It's gotta be possible. I read that one user of an ASUS motherboard patched his own BIOS for the threat(s).
I was assured by a Samsung rep that the Note 4 would receive a security update, but I'm not sure I believe that it will.
Verizon Galaxy Note 4's have started receiving a security update!!!!
Within the past half-hour (currently 1/17/2018 at 10:45pm) I received a notification to install the update. Hopefully this update will address the KRACK, Meltdown, and Spectre vulnerabilities.

Can I install this on a ROM or should I ask the ROM's author?

Most likely the update is only for stock firmware, so you should check with your ROM author.
The update is confusing. After applying the update I looked in Settings, About Phone and the Security Patch level still shows as August 1, 2017 (suggesting that none of the security vulnerabilities like KRACK, Meltdown, or Spectre have been addressed). The Kernel version and SE for Android status now show December 6, 2017, so something has changed.
Under Settings, System updates showing that the last system update was a software update to N910VVRU2CQL1 and that it was applied today (Jan 17,2018). So far I haven't found any documentation for this update so it is totally unclear what has been changed or fixed.
Verizon just posted that
Software Version: MMB29M.N910VVRU2CQL1
Android® Security Patch Level: 2017-08-01, including Blueborne and Krack security patches
The current software update gives you the most up to date Android security patches on your device.
( See https://www.verizonwireless.com/supp...note-4-update/ )
Hopefully we will soon receive the Meltdown and Spectre security patches. Wouldn't it be nice if Verizon/Samsung would post an ETA for these kinds of critical security patches.?
My phone is on the June patch. According to the Firmware finder there have been updates to 366 and to 367. Why am I no longer getting monthly patches (C432)?
My Honor (C432) also remained at the 366 version. Yet on the internet there are updates. I wonder why. I hope we'll have at least Android Pie 9 in the near future.
GPU Turbo
Anyone installed GPU turbo update yet?It is now available on firmware finder for C636 and C10

After 3 months of not receiving any updates, I finally received version 372 yesterday (September patch)
Last night finally via HiSuite, received the update B372. But it's strange that there is nothing written in the changes register, even knowing that there are security patches updated to September 1.
I received the B372 update via "Download the new full package", because the automatic updater or OTA didn't work at all and it was a good thing to update from the horrible buggy B366 to the full B372 version !
Now, my phone is not laggy, has good performance, and battery life is way better like before ! Can't wait now for the new GPU CPU Turbo update which should be coming around november !
night mode in July update seems vastly inferior to the June update. is there anyway i can revert back to JUNE update ??? i thought updates where supposed to make things better not worse
JUNE Update

JULY Update
https://i.postimg.cc/fRybcjVB/july.jpg
didn't notice any change on my side
only doable by flashing firmware through Odin
Got an OTA today with September security updates and build is
T878USQU1ATI2
I know nothing else about this update.
I bought my s21 fe today from a trusted company. It came with android 12 and one ui 4.1 and security patch October 2022 which is really old. There are no updates for some reason. I updated it through smart switch but the security patch didn't change. The phone isn't rooted or unlocked or anything. It's brand new from a company I bought many phones. Also some things feel off like minor lagging or things that shouldn't be happening on a premium phone. What can I do?

You might want to consider sideloading the latest firmware update.
But before that, you must
1. Find your Model name & CSC Code using Phone INFO ★SAM★ 3.8.5 or just go to about phone
2. Download your firmware using Frija
3. Flash the latest firmware using SamFw Tool
