Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.176-1

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 465420

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: rxrpc: reject undecryptable rxkad
response tickets rxkad_decrypt_ticket() decrypts the RXKAD response ticket and then parses the buffer as
plaintext without checking whether crypto_skcipher_decrypt() succeeded. A malformed RESPONSE can therefore
use a non-block-aligned ticket length, make the decrypt operation fail, and still drive the ticket parser
with attacker-controlled bytes. Check the decrypt result and abort the connection with RXKADBADTICKET when
ticket decryption fails. (CVE-2026-31637)

Solution

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