Do the sysctl fix and you're fine to wait for a patch.

Tested on Ubuntu 24.04. Security patching from Ubuntu does fix it. Scary vulnerability

It looks like the fix is just disabling the algif_aead kernel module. That prevented the proof of concept script from working on everything I tested it on. Hopefully they will get some kernel updates out soon.

They have shipped out an update mitigation for the issue. http://ubuntu.com/blog/copy-fail-vulnerability-fixes-available

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

and after that, also do the steps listed on that page for running rmmod and grepping for the affected module unloaded
