Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.187-1

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 457139

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: bpf: Remove tst_run from
 lwt_seg6local_prog_ops. The syzbot reported that the lwt_seg6 related BPF ops can be invoked via
 bpf_test_run() without without entering input_action_end_bpf() first. Martin KaFai Lau said that self test
 for BPF_PROG_TYPE_LWT_SEG6LOCAL probably didn't work since it was introduced in commit 04d4b274e2a ("ipv6:
 sr: Add seg6local action End.BPF"). The reason is that the per-CPU variable seg6_bpf_srh_states::srh is
 never assigned in the self test case but each BPF function expects it. Remove test_run for
 BPF_PROG_TYPE_LWT_SEG6LOCAL. (CVE-2024-46754)

Solution

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.1.187-1 or later.
