Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.170-1

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 463444

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: nft_set_pipapo: prevent
 overflow in lookup table allocation When calculating the lookup table size, ensure the following
 multiplication does not overflow: - desc->field_len[] maximum value is U8_MAX multiplied by
 NFT_PIPAPO_GROUPS_PER_BYTE(f) that can be 2, worst case. - NFT_PIPAPO_BUCKETS(f->bb) is 2^8, worst case. -
 sizeof(unsigned long), from sizeof(*f->lt), lt in struct nft_pipapo_field. Then, use check_mul_overflow()
 to multiply by bucket size and then use check_add_overflow() to the alignment for avx2 (if needed).
 Finally, add lt_size_check_overflow() helper and use it to consolidate this. While at it, replace leftover
 allocation using the GFP_KERNEL to GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT for consistency, in pipapo_resize().
 (CVE-2025-38162)

Solution

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