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.
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.
