Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.176-1

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 462714

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/gma500/oaktrail_lvds: fix hang on
 init failure The LVDS init code looks up an I2C adapter using i2c_get_adapter() and tries to read the EDID
 before falling back to allocating and registering its own adapter. The error handling does not separate
 these cases so on a late init failure it will try to deregister and free also an adapter that had
 previously been registered. Since i2c_get_adapter() takes another reference to the adapter, deregistration
 hangs indefinitely while waiting for the reference to be released. Fix this by only destroying adapters
 allocated during LVDS init on errors. (CVE-2026-53279)

Solution

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