Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.176-1

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 461431

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: ice: Fix memory leak in
ice_set_ringparam() In ice_set_ringparam, tx_rings and xdp_rings are allocated before rx_rings. If the
allocation of rx_rings fails, the code jumps to the done label leaking both tx_rings and xdp_rings.
Furthermore, if the setup of an individual Rx ring fails during the loop, the code jumps to the free_tx
label which releases tx_rings but leaks xdp_rings. Fix this by introducing a free_xdp label and updating
the error paths to ensure both xdp_rings and tx_rings are properly freed if rx_rings allocation or setup
fails. Compile tested only. Issue found using a prototype static analysis tool and code review.
(CVE-2026-23389)

Solution

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