Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.140-1

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 460037

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: Input: mtk-pmic-keys - fix possible
 null pointer dereference In mtk_pmic_keys_probe, the regs parameter is only set if the button is parsed in
 the device tree. However, on hardware where the button is left floating, that node will most likely be
 removed not to enable that input. In that case the code will try to dereference a null pointer. Let's use
 the regs struct instead as it is defined for all supported platforms. Note that it is ok setting the key
 reg even if that latter is disabled as the interrupt won't be enabled anyway. (CVE-2025-37972)

Solution

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.1.140-1 or later.
