If your kernel was built between 2017 and the patch — which covers essentially every mainstream Linux distribution — you're in scope.
Copy Fail requires only an unprivileged local user account — no network access, no kernel debugging features, no pre-installed primitives. The kernel crypto API (AF_ALG) ships enabled in essentially every mainstream distro's default config, so the entire 2017 → patch window is in play out of the box.
