Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.20-1

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 461205

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: block: fix q->blkg_list corruption
 during disk rebind Multiple gendisk instances can allocated/added for single request queue in case of disk
 rebind. blkg may still stay in q->blkg_list when calling blkcg_init_disk() for rebind, then q->blkg_list
 becomes corrupted. Fix the list corruption issue by: - add blkg_init_queue() to initialize q->blkg_list &
 q->blkcg_mutex only - move calling blkg_init_queue() into blk_alloc_queue() The list corruption should be
 started since commit f1c006f1c685 ("blk-cgroup: synchronize pd_free_fn() from blkg_free_workfn() and
 blkcg_deactivate_policy()") which delays removing blkg from q->blkg_list into blkg_free_workfn().
 (CVE-2024-35974)

Solution

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.1.20-1 or later.
