Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.176-1

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 458017

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: rds: clear i_sends on setup
unwind The RDS IB connection teardown path is written so it can run during partial startup and on repeated
shutdown attempts. It uses NULL pointers to distinguish resources that are still owned from resources that
have already been released. When rds_ib_setup_qp() fails after allocating i_sends but before allocating
i_recvs, the sends_out path frees i_sends without clearing the pointer. A later shutdown pass can still
treat that stale pointer as a live send ring allocation. Clear i_sends after vfree() in the error unwind
path so the existing shutdown logic continues to use the correct ownership state. (CVE-2026-53355)

Solution

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