  1. Dirty Frag, Copy Fail, Fragnesia: The start of a worrisome Linux security trend

    New security vulnerabilities dubbed "Dirty Frag," "Copy Fail," and "Fragnesia" have emerged in Linux, potentially signaling a broader trend in software security. These flaws are particularly concerning as AI tools are increasingly used to probe code repositories for weaknesses. The article suggests that AI's ability to find vulnerabilities, even in closed-source software, poses a significant challenge, as it can identify issues that are then difficult to fix. AI

    Dirty Frag, Copy Fail, Fragnesia: The start of a worrisome Linux security trend

    IMPACT AI's growing capability to find vulnerabilities in code, including closed-source software, presents a new challenge for software security and development.

  2. From 732 bytes to nowhere: shutting down Copy Fail in production

    Together AI has detailed its rapid response to a critical Linux kernel vulnerability, dubbed Copy Fail (CVE-2026-31431), which allows unprivileged local users to gain root access. The company treated the issue as a fleet-level emergency, disabling the vulnerable crypto socket interface across its infrastructure within hours. They also implemented a temporary kernel hardening step by unloading the vulnerable module and removing it from the module path, preventing its re-activation until stable upstream patches could be rolled out and tested.
