Les chercheurs de Qualys ont identifié une faille logique dans le noyau Linux qui permet aux utilisateurs locaux non privilégiés de divulguer des fichiers sensibles et d'exécuter des commandes arbitraires en tant qu'utilisateur root.
La vulnérabilité affecte les installations par défaut de plusieurs distributions Linux majeures. La Threat Research Unit de Qualys a découvert le problème et l'a détaillé dans un article de blog publié vendredi.

A critical Linux vulnerability known as CopyFail, tracked as CVE-2026-31431, allows attackers to gain root access on systems running kernels since 2017. Publicly released exploit code has heightened risks for data centers and personal devices. Ubuntu's infrastructure has been offline for over a day due to a DDoS attack, hampering security communications.
Researchers have identified a high-severity flaw in the Linux kernel that can allow untrusted users to gain root access. The issue stems from one incorrect character in the code.

A security researcher has disclosed Dirty Frag, a new Linux kernel exploit that allows local users to gain root privileges. The flaw affects major distributions and remains unpatched on most systems despite earlier fixes for a similar issue.
A newly published zero-day exploit allows attackers with physical access to bypass BitLocker encryption on Windows 11 devices in seconds. The attack, named YellowKey, targets the default TPM-only configuration and grants full access to encrypted drives via a simple USB-based method.
