This is my first Linux kernel exploit for Google kCTF, and the patch commit is now public: git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/… Actually, this bug was found by AI while analyzing 1-day variants, I'd like to share my approach for these AI things to find bug, and exploitation write-up later.

❗️ Apple accidentally shipped Claude[.]md files in the Apple Support app update (v5.13).
For context, Claude[.]md is the instruction file Anthropic's Claude Code uses to understand a project's structure, conventions, and developer guidance. They typically live in source repos and are not meant to ship inside production apps.

⚠️ Linux Kernel 0-Day "Copy Fail" Roots Every Major Distribution Since 2017
Source: cybersecuritynews.com/linux-kernel-0…
A critical zero-day vulnerability in the Linux kernel has been publicly disclosed, enabling any unprivileged local user to obtain root access on virtually every major Linux distribution shipped since 2017.
Copy Fail is a straight-line logic bug not a race condition in the Linux kernel's authencesn cryptographic template, reachable via the AF_ALG socket interface combined with the splice() system call.
A single 732-byte Python script using only standard library modules achieves deterministic root on every tested distribution and architecture.

‼️Copy Fail (CVE-2026-31431) is a Linux privilege escalation bug that lets any local user get root using a 732-byte Python script, and itworks on basically every major Linux distro shipped since 2017.
Website: copy.fail
Write-up: xint.io/blog/copy-fail…
GitHub: github.com/theori-io/copy…
It's a logic flaw in the kernel's crypto code (authencesn via AF_ALG and splice()) that allows a small write into the page cache, which can be used to tamper with a setuid binary like /usr/bin/su.
Think how bad this is going to be for shared environments like Kubernetes, CI runners, and cloud sandboxes, where it enables container escape and tenant-to-host compromise.
Found by Theori's Xint Code scanner, patched in the mainline kernel, and publicly disclosed on April 29, 2026; if you can't patch right away, the recommended workaround is to disable the algif_aead module.
