What happened
Multiple high-impact security items: a public zero-day exploit named YellowKey was released that reliably bypasses default Windows 11 BitLocker protections (TPM-backed FDE) when an attacker has physical access to the device (PoC published to GitHub). Separately, the Linux kernel “copy.fail” vulnerability (CVE-2026-31431) is a widespread local privilege escalation that abuses the kernel crypto API (AF_ALG sockets) and splice() to write into a victim file’s page cache (working PoC, affects many major distros, evades checksum-based detection).
