I tested it on my local, non-production, Linux Mint Debian Edition 7 system.

Crazy exploit!

Now that means I have a bunch of work to do to mitigate for this.

I don’t want to run a mitigation that doesn’t need to be run. Just in case that introduces a problem in a system that is currently working fine and not exploitable.

So from what I’ve learned so far:

lsmod | grep algif_aead

this checks to see if the exploitable module is loaded.

You can check if the module is present in the system, but not currently loaded with:

modinfo algif_aead 2>/dev/null

If that returns information, the module is present and could be loaded.

But you have to have root privileges to load the module.

So my logic is that if

lsmod | grep algif_aead

returns nothing, the vulnerable Linux kernel module is not loaded and therefore not exploitable… even if the module is present on the system but not loaded.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

#CopyFail #Linux

lsmod | grep algif_aead

seem to be exploitable.

From what I understand, if the above command that checks to see if the exploitable kernel module is loaded returns nothing, then the exploit cannot be run.

#copyFail #Linux

If "lsmod | grep algif_aead" returns nothing, is the vulnerability not exploitable?

Most of my Linux machines are running older, non-patched kernels, but it doesn't seem like the affected kernel module is active... so does that mean a system that returns nothing for "lsmod | grep algif_aead" is not at risk for this exploit?

So you read about #CopyFail, and are like… owww, shit. But then you see that it was responsibly disclosed after being fixed in main, we had releases since, they went stable in #Gentoo (over other #security fixes), so we should be good, right?

Except that it turns out that after it has been fixed in mainline, nobody bothered actually backporting the fix to all the LTS branches. And it doesn't apply cleanly (https://social.treehouse.systems/@thesamesam/116490971618284574). What a shitshow!

Nur ein fehler, der beseitigt wurde, ist ein guter fehler. Auch, wenn sich das im moment alles eher so liest, als sei die ausbeutung für angreifer nicht ganz so einfach.

Supposedly, https://copy.fail has been patched on Ubuntu, and therefore, on Mint 22.3, which I use; but I've run apt update && apt upgrade over and over, and the copy_fail_exp.py script still gets root. What am I missing?

update: it's not patched in the generic kernel! If you really need algid_aeaf, you have to switch to one of the vendor kernels. But if you're a desktop user like me, I don't think you'll miss it; just disable it with the instructions in https://copy.fail/#mitigation

Very unfortunate that the fix for CVE-2026-31431 isn't easily backportable, with a new API being added, and then its implementation details changing, since the last LTS (6.12 vs 6.18).

As people rightly highlight that the #CopyFail fix status in various #Linux distros is… confusing, it’s worth keeping in mind you can deploy the workaround everywhere with no side effects:

# echo "install algif_aead /bin/false" > /etc/modprobe.d/disable-algif.conf
# rmmod algif_aead 2>/dev/null || true

By ‘confusing’ I mean:

• after reading #Ubuntu https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2026-31431 I have no idea whether my specific distro is vulnerable or not (WTF are these linux-hwe code names, my lsb_release just says Ubuntu)
• Amazon Linux is at least quite open about ‘fix pending’ https://explore.alas.aws.amazon.com/CVE-2026-31431.html

I love "Preview" on macOS, and there doesn't appear to be an equal on #Linux. Lots of things are pretty good.

Preview lets me open a PDF, annotate it, delete pages, add pages, and save it. It's quick, easy, and super effective.

I had to annotate a PDF on Debian just now, and I did it with a 3-step process.

1. for i in 0 1 2; do convert -density 300 document.pdf[${i}] page${i}.png; done
2. Open the page I want to annotate in Drawing and do my annotations
3. convert page*.png document-annotated.pdf

At the end of the day, this was OK. It turned a 100K 3-page PDF into a 700K PDF.

But I have rasterized all the pages when they weren't rasterized before. It worked for my purposes, but it isn't as good as directly editing a PDF doc with some annotations.

Linux tip: Use “journalctl -f -u servicename” for real-time service logs. The “-u” targets specific service units, “-f” follows live output. Add “-p err” for errors only.

Right, question for Linux users - I'm getting some surprise money and I'm thinking I'll invest in a colour printer so that I can make my own art prints at home.

I had an Epson Eco-Tank in South Africa but was having a hell of a time calibrating the colours.

I would like it to take up to 300gm paper.

Suggestions for printers that work well on Linux (I know Brother are good), that are good for colour art prints?

BLUG, Bergen 2026-05-28: Social anarchic, mad, and misbehaving agents collaboratively solving tasks v/Bjarte Johansen

https://blug.linux.no/events/2026-05-agents/

Bergen (BSD and) Linux User Group er tilbake!

#bergen #linux #agents #development #programming

@rayk To be clear, there is no hard feelings about #Bazzite itself, but I'm of the mindset that it's my machine and I get to decide how it should work, so if Bazzite isn't compatible with that, then it's not what I'm gonna run. The #Linux world isn't a zero sum game and not everything is for everyone and that's OK. Diversity is a feature, not a bug.

What bugs me more is I wanted to understand and help troubleshoot what appeared to be a bug and didn't get that opportunity from Bazzite support.

Let's talk CLI/TUI and Developer Workflows!

I’m looking to refresh my local toolkit and I’m curious: what are the absolute "must-have" CLI or TUI programs in your current rotation?

Whether it's a specialized utility for a specific language, a terminal-based interface for a common service, or a workflow-changing alias, I want to hear about it. I’m especially interested in tools that prioritize keyboard-driven navigation and accessibility.

My Current Favorites:

To get the ball rolling, here are a few tools I’ve been leaning on lately:

• uv — Fast, reliable Python package and project management.
• fzf & ripgrep — The classic duo for fuzzy finding and searching.
• tmux — For session management and persistent terminal workspaces.
• jq / yq — Essential for wrangling JSON and YAML without leaving the prompt.

What about you?

1. What is one tool you've discovered recently that you can't live without?
2. Are there any TUI-based clients for web services (like Mastodon, GitHub, or RSS) that you recommend?
3. Do you have a favorite "hidden gem" script or small utility?

Welp, looks like my time with Bazzite is coming to an end. rpm-ostree layering is broke for me and the advice to run basic desktop stuff in an Ubuntu DistroBox isn't for me. It's still great a option if you are gaming focused, but I was hoping for something more robust for a laptop experience.

Hand-written Quadlet files are great for one host. For a small fleet, I want them in Ansible: templated config, registry login, Podman secrets, systemd handlers, SELinux labels, and repeatable deployment.

The example: a tiny Mastodon welcome bot running as a Podman Quadlet-managed systemd service.

Reminder[1]: Now is the best[2] time to test the #kernel to prevent #LinuxKernel regressions from hitting #ArchLinux, #Fedora Linux, or #openSUSE #Tumbleweed.

That's because the first pre-release (aka "-rc1") of #Linux 7.1 is out – which leaves plenty of time to find, report, debug, and fix any problems that those distros otherwise will encounter when they switch to 7.1.y in about eight to ten weeks. And testing is not even hard, as easy-to-install packages with pre-built mainline kernels exist for all three distros[3].

Testing in one or two weeks when -rc2 or -rc3 are out is good, too. But you really want to test by 7.1-rc6 (five weeks from now): By then, Linus wants all regressions introduced and reported early in the 7.1 cycle to be fixed. Things are thus expected to work by then – but if not, there is still enough time to test, debug, and fix most regressions.

Reporting any later is often too late to fix regressions before those distros switch to the 7.1.y series -- which will happen within one or two weeks (in the case of Arch and Tumbleweed) or three to four (Fedora) after 7.1 is released, as 7.0.y likely becomes EOL about two weeks after 7.1 is out. This is why they'll switch then, even if regressions are known.

Being able to finally fully remove the remaining Xorg packages from my computers after upgrading to Fedora 44's Wayland-only GNOME is such a satisfying moment, after decades of carrying this cruft around!

The command I used:

Before involving young people in #gardening and #sustainability work, we must first equip them with knowledge and guidance. Understanding why sustainability matters turns simple actions into meaningful impact. When they learn first, they don’t just grow plants—they grow responsibility and a lasting commitment to protecting our #environment. 🌱🌍

Ha! Hab nun einen Weg gefunden mit mehreren via Internet mit LibreOffice gemeinsam an einer Datei zu arbeiten 🙂. Es ist ein kleiner Umweg (eigentlich aber auch nicht), ich hab uns allen (Windows & Linux-Nutzer) ein SSH/SFTP Netzlaufwerk von meinem Server erstellt und in den Systemen eingehängt. Nun kann man quasi die Datei bei sich "lokal" in dem Netzlaufwerk speichern & laden was jedoch auf dem Server ist 🙂.

Wie ein zweifacher Opa aus Wernigerode tausende Entwickler weltweit vernetzt
#Linux #Debian

‚"Schon beim Physikstudium habe ich freie Software benutzt. Das hatte große Vorteile für mich und ich habe gesehen, dass sich Probleme so sehr sinnvoll lösen lassen."

Seit 1996 läuft auf seinem Computer Debian, ein Grundsystem für Computer, vergleichbar mit Windows oder macOS. Seit 1998 arbeitet er an der Software mit. Dabei müssen sich tausende Entwickler auf der ganzen Welt selbst organisieren.

"Wir haben ein technisches Regelwerk. Darin steht, wie ein Softwarepaket aussehen muss. Und wir diskutieren per Mail und Chat."….‘

Ich habe in Tschechien einen Anbieter gefunden, welcher VPS mit einer dedizierten RT3090 anbietet.
Hier lässt sich gut Ollama und weiteres installieren und 24/7 betreiben.

Ich habe mir hier einmal mit Ollama, Hermes Agent, Signalbridge und Nextcloud MCP eine kleine Kasumi aufgesetzt. Aber den MCP für Nextcloud intern auf dem NAS.

Wie der Anbieter selbst ist, kann ich nicht sagen, ich wollte dies nur einmal testen und aufgrund von nicht vorhandenem Hardware im Bereich LLM habe ich bei diesem wegen besten ROI zugegriffen.

Es wäre aber einmal ein proof of concept.

Besteht hier einmal Interesse an weiteren Informationen?
Soll ich einen Blogartikel schreiben?

Quick reminder wrt removing features or drivers from the #Linux #kernel, like currently considered in the networking subsystem and a few other areas[1]:

The "no regressions" rule still applies – so nothing people still use should be removed (or the removal should be reverted in case it turns out people still use it).

This is why the network drivers 3c59x and xirc2ps, MVME147 that were on the chopping board will remain[2].

But there are a few caveats, some of them:

* "people still use" means "in production with recent kernels" – public or private museums can use old kernel versions.
* You have to make your case against the removal (and might have to help testing going forward) – which is what a few people did successfully for the drivers mentioned above[3].
* Timing is important. It's best to speak up before something is removed. Chances that a removal is reverted are likely good if you speak up in the mainline cycle where the removal was performed. It might work in the following cycle, too (e.g. in the 9 weeks after after a new mainline release where something was removed is out). But if you speak up later, you are likely too late -- which is why you want to use the latest mainline and not jump from one longterm release to the next once a year, as then it most likely is too late when you notice a removal.
* Exceptions from the "no regressions" rule made, for example in case something is seriously broken, a huge security risk/maintenance burden, and basically unfixable at the same time; but these are rare and individual judgement calls, so it is best to not worry about.

So a little nut to crack for my #linux bubble: I am running #mintlinux on my external Thunderbolt SSD on the 2013 iMac. Problem is: When I suspend and then resume, the TB SSD does NOT wake up. System hangs -- because there is no root FS anymore!
I already tried iummu=soft and pcie_aspm=off in the grub defaults:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash iommu=soft pcie_aspm=off"

But that does nothing to help. Any other ideas how to wake the sleeping princcess?

Happy #WorldPenguinDay! 🐧🌎

Did you know #Tux, the #Linux mascot penguin, was designed by programmer Larry Ewing in 1996 as a submission to a contest to create the Linux logo? Although his entry did not win, the artwork was adopted by the Linux community as the iconic brand character. The name “Tux” comes from “Torvalds’ UniX” and refers to the black-and-white tuxedo appearance of penguins.

@klausman what bothers me are people that expect 10+ or 15+ year old hardware to continue to work when jumping from one longterm kernel to the next without doing a dime to help with that in return for what they get for free.

Because that shows that the #Linux #kernel community, or maybe the whole FLOSS ecosystem, is doing a bad job at communicating that developers and testers need to invest at least time and maybe money to ensure things continue to work.

Which is why at some point things, at least for the #LinuxKernel with its "no regressions" policy, boil down to: "Unless somebody tests regularly (e.g., at least each new mainline version, better each new -rc1), things you care about might get broken and/or removed before it becomes hard or impossible to fix that".

If a hardware is very widespread, there is a decent chance that somebody else will do that testing[1]; but over time you might need to become that "somebody" to prevent a unhappy outcome for yourself and others.

[1] but hardware is tricky and has many warts that show up only in special environments. Maybe yours is one of those, so you might want to help with testing nevertheless. Which is a good way to give back to FLOSS.

The mission of Alpha-Omega – a Linux Foundation project – is:

＂to protect society by catalyzing sustainable security improvements across open source, from the largest global projects to the smallest but essential components maintained by individuals. "

Further:

＂Open source underpins the world’s digital infrastructure, yet much of it remains under-resourced and exposed to growing security risks. Alpha-Omega exists to address this challenge by serving as a helping hand and funding catalyst that supports the maintainers, communities, and ecosystems where security investment can have the greatest impact.＂

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@kernellogger/116454517064991950

A bunch of old networking infrastructure and drivers after a short discussion phase were now removed for #Linux 7.1. Among them:
* ISDN subsystem and Bluetooth CMTP
* ax25 and amateur radio (hamradio)
* CAIF NETWORK LAYER
* used ATM protocols and legacy ATM device drivers
* several drivers, among them the one for 3com 3c509 chips

For details see: https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/64edfa65062dc4509ba75978116b2f6d392346f5

In case you actually use anything in production (see the post below), speak up, as then the removal might be reverted, as Linus clarified in https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAHk-%3DwimzLyMALBZmQUDGs%3DX0uJhnLhpsQJ1c77%3DBMwhx4GT4A@mail.gmail.com/ – to quote:

"I think we can easily resurrect individual drivers if there are actual users."

＂This working group is situated at the intersection between security and artificial intelligence (AI). We explore the security risks associated with Large Language Models (LLMs), Generative AI (GenAI), and other forms of artificial intelligence and machine learning (ML), and their impact on open source projects, maintainers, their security, communities, and adopters. Furthermore, we explore using AI and ML to strengthen the security of other open source projects.

This group in collaborative research and peer organization engagement to explore topics related to AI and security. This includes security for AI development (e.g., supply chain security) but also using AI for security. We are covering risks posed to individuals and organizations by improperly trained models, data poisoning, privacy and secret leakage, prompt injection, licensing, adversarial attacks, and any other similar risks.

This group leverages prior art in the AI/ML space,draws upon both security and AI/ML experts, and pursues collaboration with other communities (such as the CNCF’s AI WG, LFAI & Data, AI Alliance, MLCommons, and many others) who are also seeking to research the risks presented by AL/ML to OSS in order to provide guidance, tooling, techniques, and capabilities to support open source projects and their adopters in securely integrating, using, detecting and defending against LLMs. …＂

I clicked the notification, applied the updates and rebooted when prompted.

It may have been the Discover app problem.

⚰️ Nous enterrons la décence de @Microsoft : alors que plus de 50 000 citoyen⋅nes se sont déjà mobilisés pour dire non à ces pratiques d'obsolescence logicielle, Microsoft poursuit sa logique absurde de gaspillage !

Remise d'un acte de décès à un cadre de Microsoft par les activistes de ANV-COP21 et Alternatiba

⚰️ Nous enterrons la sobriété : en 2026, la France a déjà consommé toute sa part de ressources naturelles renouvelables que la planète peut régénérer en un an !

💀 À la fin de l’oraison funèbre, Alternatiba et Anvcop-21 sont allés remettre un avis de décès à Microsoft et demandent officiellement un rendez-vous avec l’entreprise pour lui faire entendre raison !

Heureusement, on n’enterre pas l’espoir de faire bouger les choses !

If any of my #France #Accessibility people have weight here, make sure they require #Disability support because to a lot of the open source community, disability access is a feature, not a right.

🇫🇷 La Francia vuole abbandonare Windows e passare a Linux 🎉

È un segnale chiaro, anche le istituzioni iniziano a mettere in discussione la dipendenza dai Big Tech e l’uso dei soldi pubblici per alimentarli.

Con #Fedilug portiamo questo dibattito al centro: quali altri Paesi in UE stanno scegliendo alternative libere, aperte e sostenibili?

Un'immagine su sfondo arancione che presenta diversi elementi grafici e bandiere. In alto, un grande cerchio mostra la bandiera francese con strisce verticali blu, bianca e rossa. Al centro, un quadrato bianco con quattro piccoli quadrati colorati (rosso, verde, azzurro e giallo) e una "X" rossa nell'angolo punta, tramite una freccia bianca, verso un quadrato contenente l'illustrazione di un pinguino nero e bianco. Sotto, un rettangolo con bordo tratteggiato racchiude quattro cerchi con le bandiere di Germania, Paesi Bassi, Danimarca e Austria. In basso a destra, si legge il testo "PRIVACY NEWS" accanto a un'icona bianca di un documento con un lucchetto.
