Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.180-1

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 464972

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: elan_i2c - prevent division by
 zero and arithmetic underflow The Elan I2C touchpad driver queries the device for its physical dimensions
 and trace counts to calculate the device resolution and width. However, if the device firmware or device
 tree provides invalid zero values for x_traces or y_traces, it results in a fatal division-by-zero
 exception leading to a kernel panic during device probe. Add checks to ensure these parameters are non-
 zero before performing the division. If invalid trace values are detected, fall back to a safe default of
 1. Additionally, prevent an arithmetic underflow in the touch reporting logic. Previously, if the
 calculated or fallback width was smaller than ETP_FWIDTH_REDUCE (90), the subtraction would underflow,
 resulting in a massive unsigned integer being reported to userspace. Clamp the adjusted width to a minimum
 of 0 to safely handle small physical dimensions and fallback scenarios. Completing the probe with safe
 fallback values ensures the sysfs nodes are created, keeping the firmware update path intact so a recovery
 firmware can be flashed to the device. (CVE-2026-64275)

Solution

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.1.180-1 or later.
