CVE-2026-31431 (Copy Fail) Patch Status for Zorin OS 18.1

UPDATE:

I got today an Update over the Software Updater. Besides Kernel Updates came an Update for kmod/libkmod which is related to this Security Vulnerability. So, there doesn't come a Kernel Patch to say that clear.

The Update makes that what the Explorer of the Security Issue already delivered: It disables the problematic Module. When updated, You can check that in the Directory /etc/modprobe.d/ that there is a File called disable-algif_aead.conf

Here some Pictures to show it:
