This vulnerability requires an attacker to create a nsswitch.conf in a directory that will be used during sudo chroot operations.
When sudo executes, it loads malicious shared libraries from user-controlled locations within the chroot environment,
potentially leading to arbitrary code execution and privilege escalation.

Detects creation of AF_ALG (Address Family 38) sockets via the socket() syscall.
AF_ALG is the Linux kernel crypto API interface. It is exploited in CVE-2026-31431
to achieve local privilege escalation via a buffer overflow in the AF_ALG AEAD
splice path that corrupts the page cache of SUID binaries.
Legitimate AF_ALG usage is rare and confined to specific crypto utilities and VPN
daemons using non-default kernel offload configurations.

Detects kernel auto-loading of the authencesn crypto module via modprobe
This occurs when user-space code creates an AF_ALG socket and binds the authencesn AEAD cipher
(e.g., authencesn(hmac(sha256),cbc(aes))). The kernel invokes modprobe to load the
crypto module. This is a key indicator of CVE-2026-31431 (Copy Fail) exploitation,
where the authencesn cipher is used to trigger a buffer overflow in the AF_ALG AEAD splice path,
corrupting the page cache of SUID binaries for local privilege escalation.
On Linux systems, modprobe is typically a symlink to kmod, so the process image will be /usr/bin/kmod (or /bin/kmod)
with 'modprobe' appearing in the command line.
