Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.176-1

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 462194

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: net: strparser: fix skb_head leak in
 strp_abort_strp() When the stream parser is aborted, for example after a message assembly timeout, it can
 still hold a reference to a partially assembled message in strp->skb_head. That skb is not released in
 strp_abort_strp(), which leaks the partially assembled message and can be triggered repeatedly to exhaust
 memory. Fix this by freeing strp->skb_head and resetting the parser state in the abort path. Leave
 strp_stop() unchanged so final cleanup still happens in strp_done() after the work and timer have been
 synchronized. (CVE-2026-46102)

Solution

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