Echo: linux: security update to 6.10.6-1

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 462717

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: btrfs: do not BUG_ON() when freeing
 tree block after error When freeing a tree block, at btrfs_free_tree_block(), if we fail to create a
 delayed reference we don't deal with the error and just do a BUG_ON(). The error most likely to happen is
 -ENOMEM, and we have a comment mentioning that only -ENOMEM can happen, but that is not true, because in
 case qgroups are enabled any error returned from btrfs_qgroup_trace_extent_post() (can be -EUCLEAN or
 anything returned from btrfs_search_slot() for example) can be propagated back to btrfs_free_tree_block().
 So stop doing a BUG_ON() and return the error to the callers and make them abort the transaction to
 prevent leaking space. Syzbot was triggering this, likely due to memory allocation failure injection.
 (CVE-2024-44963)

Solution

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.10.6-1 or later.
