Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.170-1

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 458707

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: btrfs: do not free data reservation in
 fallback from inline due to -ENOSPC If we fail to create an inline extent due to -ENOSPC, we will attempt
 to go through the normal COW path, reserve an extent, create an ordered extent, etc. However we were
 always freeing the reserved qgroup data, which is wrong since we will use data. Fix this by freeing the
 reserved qgroup data in __cow_file_range_inline() only if we are not doing the fallback (ret is <= 0).
 (CVE-2025-71269)

Solution

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