Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.170-1

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 462110

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: netfilter: nf_conntrack_sip: fix
 Content-Length u32 truncation in sip_help_tcp() sip_help_tcp() parses the SIP Content-Length header with
 simple_strtoul(), which returns unsigned long, but stores the result in unsigned int clen. On 64-bit
 systems, values exceeding UINT_MAX are silently truncated before computing the SIP message boundary. For
 example, Content-Length 4294967328 (2^32 + 32) is truncated to 32, causing the parser to miscalculate
 where the current message ends. The loop then treats trailing data in the TCP segment as a second SIP
 message and processes it through the SDP parser. Fix this by changing clen to unsigned long to match the
 return type of simple_strtoul(), and reject Content-Length values that exceed the remaining TCP payload
 length. (CVE-2026-23457)

Solution

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