If you need a one liner to protect against copy.fail on Arch until you can run pacman -Syy; pacman -Syu; reboot, this one worked for us: sudo sh -c 'echo "install algif_aead /bin/false" > /etc/modprobe.d/disable-algif-aead.conf && rmmod algif_aead 2>/dev/null || true'

CVE-2026-31431. 100% Reliable Linux LPE — no race, no per-distro offsets, page-cache write that bypasses on-disk file-integrity tools and crosses containers. Found by Xint Code.

Phoronix reporting on Arch's move to the 0BSD (Zero-Clause BSD) license for package sources. The license would apply only to files such as PKGBUILD, .install, .desktop, etc, which were previously unlicensed. This aligns with the goals of Arch's RFC 40: www.phoronix.com/news/Arch-Li...
