Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.170-1

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 455378

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/scheduler: signal scheduled fence
 when kill job When an entity from application B is killed, drm_sched_entity_kill() removes all jobs
 belonging to that entity through drm_sched_entity_kill_jobs_work(). If application A's job depends on a
 scheduled fence from application B's job, and that fence is not properly signaled during the killing
 process, application A's dependency cannot be cleared. This leads to application A hanging indefinitely
 while waiting for a dependency that will never be resolved. Fix this issue by ensuring that scheduled
 fences are properly signaled when an entity is killed, allowing dependent applications to continue
 execution. (CVE-2025-38436)

Solution

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.1.170-1 or later.
