Friederike Otto: "While El Niño could lead to very extreme conditions later this year, it's not the reason to freak out… Climate change, [by] contrast, gets worse and worse and worse… and it's already a much stronger influence on many extremes than most natural modes of variability…. Climate change is the reason to freak out… And we do know what to do about it. We have the knowledge and technology to go very, very far away from using fossil fuels."

CVE-2026-31431, also known as CopyFail, is a Local Privilege Escalation (LPE) vulnerability in which an attacker can escalate an already compromised and authenticated standard user to root privileges, which are the highest privileges on the host. This vulnerability affects most popular Linux distributions, as well as many virtualized and hardware environments where Linux is present.

The vulnerability is present in the algif_aead module of the Linux kernel, which is responsible for hardware-accelerated cryptography. Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu, pushed out an update that disables the algif_aead module to mitigate the CopyFail vulnerability, however, Canonical notes that this mitigation will not be necessary once the kernel is updated.

Disabling the affected module should make applications fallback from hardware-accelerated cryptography to userspace cryptographic functions. However, because of the complexity and variation of configurations across many environments, it is recommended to test this mitigation in staging first, as some applications may not include or support userspace cryptographic functions. A reboot is also recommended to complete the mitigation, as some applications may require a reboot to trigger the fallback.

To protect systems running Ubuntu and Ubuntu-based distributions against this vulnerability, follow the steps below:

Open a terminal and type:

1. apt changelog kmod

This checks the changelog for the version of the kmod tool currently installed on your system and shows a list of changes, which will confirm whether the CopyFail vulnerability was mitigated. Check the top entry to confirm the mitigation, as shown in the attached screenshot, if the top entry mentions "* Disable loading of algif_aead module to mitigate CVE-2026-31431", you already have the update installed that mitigates the CopyFail vulnerability but if there is no mention of the CVE, continue with the steps below.

2. sudo apt-get update

This will update your package index files so you can install newly released updates.

3. sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade kmod

This command will upgrade only kmod, a tool used to configure kernel modules on Ubuntu, the new release contains the mitigation for your current kernel.

4. sudo reboot

This will reboot the operating system.

5. apt changelog kmod

Repeat the command from the first step to confirm whether the mitigation is in place. The top entry should now say "* Disable loading of algif_aead module to mitigate CVE-2026-31431".
