Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.176-1

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 464137

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: dm mirror: fix integer overflow in
 create_dirty_log() The argument count calculation in create_dirty_log() performs `*args_used = 2 +
 param_count` before validating against argc. When a user provides a param_count close to UINT_MAX via the
 device mapper table string, this unsigned addition wraps around to a small value, causing the subsequent
 `argc < *args_used` check to be bypassed. The overflowed param_count is then passed as argc to
 dm_dirty_log_create(), where it can cause out-of-bounds reads on the argv array. Fix by comparing
 param_count against argc - 2 before performing the addition, following the same pattern used by
 parse_features() in the same file. Since argc >= 2 is already guaranteed, the subtraction is safe.
 (CVE-2026-46023)

Solution

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