Does anyone have a workaround for it? Edit: I don't understand why the comment would be downvoted.

I used, for debian based systems:

  printf "# CVE-2026-31431\nblacklist algif_aead\ninstall algif_aead /bin/false\n" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-algif_aead.conf >/dev/null && sudo update-initramfs -u
There's some workarounds in https://copy.fail/#mitigation
