Hi Guix,

There's been another LPE vulnearability affecting all kernel versions we
currently ship in Guix, which means there's been two LPEs in total
during the last two weeks:

- CVE-2026-31431 known as copy.fail (more information at:
  https://copy.fail/)
- CVE-2026-43284 known as Dirty Frag (more information at:
  https://github.com/V4bel/dirtyfrag)

copy.fail is fixed as of 2026-04-30 and commit
d3cc0386663ebc122edc051a4bad349097016190 or later thanks to Vagrant and
Rodion who took care of packaging that update round.

Dirty Frag will be fixed as soon as
https://codeberg.org/guix/guix/pulls/8434 lands on master (currently
requires review, I'll try to build and boot test at least the more
recent LTS kernels at least for x86_64 and arm64 platforms).

It will probably be a good idea to sent a mail to info-guix addressing
both LPEs and recommendating people to upgrade their systems. I wrote a
draft for such a mail in
https://codeberg.org/guix/guix/issues/8430#issuecomment-14495007.
