Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.180-1

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 463460

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: posix-cpu-timers: Fix pid refcount
 leak in do_cpu_nanosleep() error path In do_cpu_nanosleep(), posix_cpu_timer_create() takes a pid
 reference via get_pid() and stores it in timer.it.cpu.pid. If the subsequent posix_cpu_timer_set() call
 fails, the function returns immediately without calling posix_cpu_timer_del() to release the pid
 reference, causing a leak. Fix it by calling posix_cpu_timer_del() before the unlock-and-return on the
 error path, consistent with the other exit paths in the same function. (CVE-2026-64370)

Solution

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.1.180-1 or later.
