Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.176-1

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 463206

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: Bluetooth: RFCOMM: validate skb length
in MCC handlers The RFCOMM MCC handlers cast skb->data to protocol-specific structs without validating
skb->len first. A malicious remote device can send truncated MCC frames and trigger out-of-bounds reads in
these handlers. Fix this by using skb_pull_data() to validate and access the required data before
dereferencing it. rfcomm_recv_rpn() requires special handling since ETSI TS 07.10 allows 1-byte RPN
requests. Handle this by validating only the DLCI byte first, and validating the full struct only when len
> 1. (CVE-2026-53254)

Solution

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