Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.170-1

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 461770

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: drm/amdgpu: Fix fence put before wait
 in amdgpu_amdkfd_submit_ib amdgpu_amdkfd_submit_ib() submits a GPU job and gets a fence from
 amdgpu_ib_schedule(). This fence is used to wait for job completion. Currently, the code drops the fence
 reference using dma_fence_put() before calling dma_fence_wait(). If dma_fence_put() releases the last
 reference, the fence may be freed before dma_fence_wait() is called. This can lead to a use-after-free.
 Fix this by waiting on the fence first and releasing the reference only after dma_fence_wait() completes.
 Fixes the below: drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_amdkfd.c:697 amdgpu_amdkfd_submit_ib() warn: passing
 freed memory 'f' (line 696) (cherry picked from commit 8b9e5259adc385b61a6590a13b82ae0ac2bd3482)
 (CVE-2026-31566)
