Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.177-1

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 458294

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: dlm: prevent NPD when writing a
 positive value to event_done do_uevent returns the value written to event_done. In case it is a positive
 value, new_lockspace would undo all the work, and lockspace would not be set. __dlm_new_lockspace,
 however, would treat that positive value as a success due to commit 8511a2728ab8 ("dlm: fix use count with
 multiple joins"). Down the line, device_create_lockspace would pass that NULL lockspace to
 dlm_find_lockspace_local, leading to a NULL pointer dereference. Treating such positive values as
 successes prevents the problem. Given this has been broken for so long, this is unlikely to break
 userspace expectations. (CVE-2025-23131)

Solution

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.1.177-1 or later.
