CVE-2026-31431, known as Copy Fail, is a Linux kernel local privilege escalation affecting a wide range of kernels from 2017 until distributors ship the fix. On Kubernetes Clusters that may execute potentially malicious workloads (i.g. third party container images), the vulnerability may facilitate container escape scenarios (from a pod to the host). Utilising microVMs or other isolated runtime classes may mitigate impact. Thalassa Cloud Kubernetes images v1.34.7-1 and v1.35.4-1 include kernel module updates that address CVE-2026-31431 by applying the recommended mitigation from Canonical for Ubuntu.
