A few hours ago, I saw a video by Brodie Robertson where be mentioned CVE-2026-31431, where anyone that has shell access can exploit algif_aead to become root. I am pleased to say that the issue has now been patched for Debian Trixie users!

Make sure to update as soon as possible. I don’t use Ubuntu or any Red Hat based systems so I cannot provide information about those. And thankfully, any computers I have that run Debian 12 or older all barely get used anymore.

I don’t have any Microsoft Word/Publisher graphics to throw up here, just a wall of text saying that the blog is, for the first time since April 2025, back on WordPress (as it should have been all this time). Maybe, this time, I will actually publish stuff to it as opposed to letting it rot while I continue paying for my many domain names while using Matthew Arnold‘s bandwidth and CPU cycles in the process.

But, oddly, why is his server using a dead domain in /etc/hostname?

anton@kangaskhan:~$ cat /etc/hostname
kangaskhan.marnold.org

Well, I suppose domains dying is just a part of how the cookie crumbles. But at the end of the day: at least my blog is back, or something of the sorts. Perhaps I get some bonus points for having gone to the Web Archive and pulled copies of my old blog posts to put back too, so that it looks like there’s something of substance on this web site.

But for now, until next time, Godspeed.
