Last Update Date: 27 May 2026 Release Date: 11 May 2026 8851 Views

RISK: Medium Risk

TYPE: Operating Systems - Linux

TYPE: Linux

Multiple vulnerabilities were identified in Ubuntu Linux Kernel. A remote attacker could exploit some of these vulnerabilities to trigger sensitive information disclosure, denial of service condition, remote code execution, security restriction bypass and elevation of privilege on the targeted system. 

 

Note: 

CVE-2026-31431 is being exploited in the wild. Copy Fail (CVE-2026-31431) is a logic bug in the Linux kernel's authencesn cryptographic template. It lets an unprivileged local user trigger a deterministic, controlled 4-byte write into the page cache of any readable file on the system. A single 732-byte Python script can edit a setuid binary and obtain root on essentially all Linux distributions shipped since 2017.
