Echo: linux: security update to 6.9.7-1

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 460712

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: watchdog: cpu5wdt.c: Fix use-after-
 free bug caused by cpu5wdt_trigger When the cpu5wdt module is removing, the origin code uses del_timer()
 to de-activate the timer. If the timer handler is running, del_timer() could not stop it and will return
 directly. If the port region is released by release_region() and then the timer handler cpu5wdt_trigger()
 calls outb() to write into the region that is released, the use-after-free bug will happen. Change
 del_timer() to timer_shutdown_sync() in order that the timer handler could be finished before the port
 region is released. (CVE-2024-38630)

Solution

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.9.7-1 or later.
