Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.170-1

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 464329

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: net: sched: cls_api: fix
tc_chain_fill_node to initialize tcm_info to zero to prevent an info-leak When building netlink messages,
tc_chain_fill_node() never initializes the tcm_info field of struct tcmsg. Since the allocation is not
zeroed, kernel heap memory is leaked to userspace through this 4-byte field. The fix simply zeroes
tcm_info alongside the other fields that are already initialized. (CVE-2026-43035)

Solution

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