Echo: linux: security update to 6.9.9-1

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 457515

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: ice: Don't process extts if PTP is
 disabled The ice_ptp_extts_event() function can race with ice_ptp_release() and result in a NULL pointer
 dereference which leads to a kernel panic. Panic occurs because the ice_ptp_extts_event() function calls
 ptp_clock_event() with a NULL pointer. The ice driver has already released the PTP clock by the time the
 interrupt for the next external timestamp event occurs. To fix this, modify the ice_ptp_extts_event()
 function to check the PTP state and bail early if PTP is not ready. (CVE-2024-42107)

Solution

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.9.9-1 or later.
