FIXING Linux vulnerability CVE-2026-31431, dubbed "Copy Fail" (algif_aead)

I suppose I could try to update the entire OS, with:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

You should do it daily.

@oaktree

But in testing the result with:
uname -r
I got: 6.1.0-45-amd64
But that’s still an old kernel version, for safety, it’s supposed to be a minimum of: 6.1.170-1

Make sure you have the security repo added to your /etc/apt/sources.list file.
