Copy Fail Explained [CVE-2026-31431]
Copy Fail is the latest Linux privesc CVE, and it's a relatively simply exploit that overwrites files in the in-memory cache. The exploit will abuse this by overwriting the cahce for a SetUID binary and then running it. In this video I'll walk though the author's POC, show my own deobfuscated POC, and show how the vulnerability works. To close, I'll run it on the HTB Snapped machine and show how to cleanup the exploit.
