Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.153-1

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 462355

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: media: venus: Fix OOB read due to
missing payload bound check Currently, The event_seq_changed() handler processes a variable number of
properties sent by the firmware. The number of properties is indicated by the firmware and used to iterate
over the payload. However, the payload size is not being validated against the actual message length. This
can lead to out-of-bounds memory access if the firmware provides a property count that exceeds the data
available in the payload. Such a condition can result in kernel crashes or potential information leaks if
memory beyond the buffer is accessed. Fix this by properly validating the remaining size of the payload
before each property access and updating bounds accordingly as properties are parsed. This ensures that
property parsing is safely bounded within the received message buffer and protects against malformed or
malicious firmware behavior. (CVE-2025-38679)

Solution

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.1.153-1 or later.
