Echo: linux: security update to 6.7.7-1

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 462566

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: KVM: arm64: Fix circular locking
 dependency The rule inside kvm enforces that the vcpu->mutex is taken *inside* kvm->lock. The rule is
 violated by the pkvm_create_hyp_vm() which acquires the kvm->lock while already holding the vcpu->mutex
 lock from kvm_vcpu_ioctl(). Avoid the circular locking dependency altogether by protecting the hyp vm
 handle with the config_lock, much like we already do for other forms of VM-scoped data. (CVE-2024-26691)

Solution

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.7.7-1 or later.
