Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.176-1

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 461841

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: audit: fix incorrect inheritable
 capability in CAPSET records __audit_log_capset() records the effective capability set into the
 inheritable field due to a copy-paste error. Every CAPSET audit record therefore reports cap_pi (process
 inheritable) with the value of cap_effective instead of cap_inheritable. This silently corrupts audit data
 used for compliance and forensic analysis: an attacker who modifies inheritable capabilities to prepare
 for a privilege-escalating exec would have the change masked in the audit trail. The bug has been present
 since the original introduction of CAPSET audit records in 2008. (CVE-2026-53287)

Solution

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