Echo: attr: security update to 1:2.6.0-1

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 462204

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - attr before version 2.6.0 contains a symlink traversal vulnerability in the getfattr and setfattr
 utilities that allows local attackers to escalate privileges by replacing a pathname component with a
 symbolic link during directory hierarchy traversal. Attackers who control a pathname component can
 redirect getfattr and setfattr operations to arbitrary files by substituting a symlink, leading to local
 privilege escalation when getfattr or setfattr is invoked by a privileged process over an attacker-
 controlled path. (CVE-2026-54371)

Solution

Update the attr library and its related packages to version 1:2.6.0-1 or later.
