Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.176-1

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 460016

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: wifi: mac80211: check tdls flag in
 ieee80211_tdls_oper When NL80211_TDLS_ENABLE_LINK is called, the code only checks if the station exists
 but not whether it is actually a TDLS station. This allows the operation to proceed for non-TDLS stations,
 causing unintended side effects like modifying channel context and HT protection before failing. Add a
 check for sta->sta.tdls early in the ENABLE_LINK case, before any side effects occur, to ensure the
 operation is only allowed for actual TDLS peers. (CVE-2026-43052)

Solution

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