Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.170-1

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 458018

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: gfs2: No more self recovery When a
 node withdraws and it turns out that it is the only node that has the filesystem mounted, gfs2 currently
 tries to replay the local journal to bring the filesystem back into a consistent state. Not only is that a
 very bad idea, it has also never worked because gfs2_recover_func() will refuse to do anything during a
 withdraw. However, before even getting to this point, gfs2_recover_func() dereferences
 sdp->sd_jdesc->jd_inode. This was a use-after-free before commit 04133b607a78 ("gfs2: Prevent double iput
 for journal on error") and is a NULL pointer dereference since then. Simply get rid of self recovery to
 fix that. (CVE-2025-38659)

Solution

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.1.170-1 or later.
