Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.147-1

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 461884

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: NFC: nci: uart: Set tty->disc_data
 only in success path Setting tty->disc_data before opening the NCI device means we need to clean it up on
 error paths. This also opens some short window if device starts sending data, even before NCIUARTSETDRIVER
 IOCTL succeeded (broken hardware?). Close the window by exposing tty->disc_data only on the success path,
 when opening of the NCI device and try_module_get() succeeds. The code differs in error path in one
 aspect: tty->disc_data won't be ever assigned thus NULL-ified. This however should not be relevant
 difference, because of "tty->disc_data=NULL" in nci_uart_tty_open(). (CVE-2025-38416)

Solution

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.1.147-1 or later.
