If you are as annoyed as me about the fancy CVE-2026-31431 website not actually mentioning what Kernel versions to update to (only mentioning the commit rev), I translated this for you by looking through the releases manually and checking if they contain the fix.
The following upstream kernel tags contain the fix:
5.10.254+
5.15.204+
6.1.170+
6.6.137+
6.12.85+
6.18.22+
6.19.12+
7.0+
But of course your distro might also apply the patches on any other version, and they will hopefully provide that information.
Edit: added 6.6/6.12 versions
Mitigation to #CVE_2026_31431 / #copyfail :
- If kernel config has CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_AEAD=m:
echo "install algif_aead /bin/false" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/disable-algif.conf; sudo rmmod algif_aead
- If kernel config has CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_AEAD=y:
Add "initcall_blacklist=algif_aead_init" to the kernel command line and reboot.
You can use the following the check if the mitigation has been applied correctly:
python3 -c 'import socket; s=socket.socket(38,5,0);
try:
s.bind(("aead","authencesn(hmac(sha256),cbc(aes))"))
print("AEAD interface present")
except OSError:
print("AEAD interface disabled")'
Once again, my professional recommendation in response to the latest Linux kernel vulnerability in the news is that you should gather up all your electronic devices, cast them into the sea, and retreat to the woods.
Each night, gather your children and tell them tales of the Before Times when the hubris of humanity grew so large that we made idols of sand and spoke to them as equals. Remind them that the sand, of course, did not speak or think, but we imagined it could, and let it guide us to folly.
Should a stranger ever come to your village with a glowing rectangle, encourage the youth to beat them with sticks.

Not here to catch anything today. He has seen people feed the fish before, tossing little bits into the water. So he thought… why not share something better? That something he enjoys a lot!

For #FursuitFriday, a few pics of Peaches from Ainmhícon.
With Maple, Strawberry, Berry, & Dobie.
I’m not wearing Peaches here - it’s @KandaBear on goat duty.
I could not find my multimeter. Looked everywhere I could think of. Eventually, gave up and sat back down at my desk… and immediately found it. It was right next to my left elbow.
With a piece of paper on top of it.
The 3.6V battery I wanted to test in fact read about 2mV, so yes, replacement ordered.

I just tried to tell my dad what I'd achieved today, and had one of those "first create the universe" moments. I pretty much ended up describing (simplified) the whole technical history of my hosting network, what BGP, OSPF and VRRP do and how they fit together, how my router setup has evolved over time, and quite a few sidetracks too, to explain that what I'd done today was to complete a script that sets up Linux "virtual MAC interfaces" for the VRRP implementation I'm hoping to soon migrate to, because the vrrp keyword built into the ifupdown2 package I've been using doesn't do a few things quite exactly the way I need and it's easier to reimplement than to fix.
Explaining all that took probably an hour and left my throat really dry and with the realisation of just how *much* technical stuff I have to look after to run a whole hosting ISP single-handedly. I really *really* ought to actually try to get some more customers in - pretty much all the customers I have, I got by accident.
FYI I do server colocation in London, UK, plus most of the other stuff a hoster does: domains and DNS, email (well, not really at the moment, email's one of the more horrible things to host and the current setup is very old and crusty and needs modernising before I'll be happy taking on email customers), web hosting, virtual servers, etc. My main selling points are service and reliability - if cost is your main factor in choosing a host, you might want to try elsewhere. ;) If I haven't scared you off and you're interested, feel free to ask.
