Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.164-1

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 461163

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: smb: client: split cached_fid
 bitfields to avoid shared-byte RMW races is_open, has_lease and on_list are stored in the same bitfield
 byte in struct cached_fid but are updated in different code paths that may run concurrently. Bitfield
 assignments generate byte read–modify–write operations (e.g. `orb $mask, addr` on x86_64), so updating one
 flag can restore stale values of the others. A possible interleaving is: CPU1: load old byte (has_lease=1,
 on_list=1) CPU2: clear both flags (store 0) CPU1: RMW store (old | IS_OPEN) -> reintroduces cleared bits
 To avoid this class of races, convert these flags to separate bool fields. (CVE-2026-23230)

Solution

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.1.164-1 or later.
