What happened
This collection highlights multiple high-impact security issues from May 2026: (1) Dual‑use AI: Anthropic’s Claude Mythos (preview) and OpenAI’s GPT‑5.5 have comparable capability to automatically find software vulnerabilities, raising weaponization and responsible‑access concerns. (2) Linux kernel “copy.fail” (CVE-2026-31431): a widely working local privilege escalation PoC abusing AF_ALG + splice() to write into page cache, affects major distributions, evades checksum‑based integrity tools. (3) GPU rowhammer: new attacks against NVIDIA Ampere GDDR can induce bitflips that enable full host/OS
