Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.147-1

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 461112

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: atm: Release atm_dev_mutex after
 removing procfs in atm_dev_deregister(). syzbot reported a warning below during atm_dev_register(). [0]
 Before creating a new device and procfs/sysfs for it, atm_dev_register() looks up a duplicated device by
 __atm_dev_lookup(). These operations are done under atm_dev_mutex. However, when removing a device in
 atm_dev_deregister(), it releases the mutex just after removing the device from the list that
 __atm_dev_lookup() iterates over. So, there will be a small race window where the device does not exist on
 the device list but procfs/sysfs are still not removed, triggering the splat. Let's hold the mutex until
 procfs/sysfs are removed in atm_dev_deregister(). [0]: proc_dir_entry 'atm/atmtcp:0' already registered
