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.
I have a vague memory of some project that did this ages ago where you could see the script on their web page but when you ran the command it executed a different script (there was a single-character difference in the URL) and the result was it told you not to be so dumb as to run scripts like that.
It was idontplaydarts.com (search it up on Internet Archive). It could detect if you were downloading it directly, or piping it to bash, abd change the script it was delivering accordingly.
