Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.176-1

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 459199

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: wifi: mac80211: remove station if
 connection prep fails If connection preparation fails for MLO connections, then the interface is
 completely reset to non-MLD. In this case, we must not keep the station since it's related to the link of
 the vif being removed. Delete an existing station. Any "new_sta" is already being removed, so that doesn't
 need changes. This fixes a use-after-free/double-free in debugfs if that's enabled, because a vif going
 from MLD (and to MLD, but that's not relevant here) recreates its entire debugfs. (CVE-2026-46125)

Solution

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.1.176-1 or later.
