Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.176-1

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 459409

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: crypto: ccp: Don't attempt to copy CSR
 to userspace if PSP command failed When retrieving the PEK CSR, don't attempt to copy the blob to
 userspace if the firmware command failed. If the failure was due to an invalid length, i.e. the userspace
 buffer+length was too small, copying the number of bytes _firmware_ requires will overflow the kernel-
 allocated buffer and leak data to userspace. BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in instrument_copy_to_user
