Nearly every Linux system built since 2017 vulnerable to ‘Copy Fail’ flaw
Security researchers and European cybersecurity officials are urging administrators to address the risk posed by a newly discovered security flaw that has been hiding in the Linux operating system for nearly a decade.
The bug allows anyone with a basic account on an affected computer to seize full administrative control. It also works as an escape route from cloud containers, meaning a compromised application running inside a supposedly isolated environment can break out and take control of the entire host server — a major risk given the cloud industry’s dependence on Linux distributions.
Patches and mitigations began reaching users Thursday, though some systems remain unprotected. An interim workaround circulating online does not function correctly on all distributions.
