dak_1001 on X made this script to check AUR pkgs raw=$(curl -fsSL "https://md.archlinux.org/s/SxbqukK6IA") mapfile -t INFECTED < <(echo "$raw" | sed 's/<[^>]*>//g' \ | grep -E '^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9_.+\-]*[a-z0-9]$' | sort -u) comm -12 <(pacman -Qmq | sort) <(printf "%s\n" "${INFECTED[@]}" | sort)
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'
Copy Fail — 732 Bytes to Root
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.

If you haven't updated Arch in the last 100 days and you are running into a dependency conflict with the "rest" package when you attempt to run pacman -Syy and pacman -Syu the solution in many cases is simply: "pacman -R rest" It is worth reading bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.ph... to understand why.
