Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.170-1

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 461497

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: netfilter: xt_IDLETIMER: reject rev0
 reuse of ALARM timer labels IDLETIMER revision 0 rules reuse existing timers by label and always call
 mod_timer() on timer->timer. If the label was created first by revision 1 with XT_IDLETIMER_ALARM, the
 object uses alarm timer semantics and timer->timer is never initialized. Reusing that object from revision
 0 causes mod_timer() on an uninitialized timer_list, triggering debugobjects warnings and possible panic
 when panic_on_warn=1. Fix this by rejecting revision 0 rule insertion when an existing timer with the same
 label is of ALARM type. (CVE-2026-23274)

Solution

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.1.170-1 or later.
