Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.135-1

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 465042

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: spufs: fix gang directory lifetimes
 prior to "[POWERPC] spufs: Fix gang destroy leaks" we used to have a problem with gang lifetimes -
 creation of a gang returns opened gang directory, which normally gets removed when that gets closed, but
 if somebody has created a context belonging to that gang and kept it alive until the gang got closed,
 removal failed and we ended up with a leak. Unfortunately, it had been fixed the wrong way. Dentry of gang
 directory was no longer pinned, and rmdir on close was gone. One problem was that failure of open kept
 calling simple_rmdir() as cleanup, which meant an unbalanced dput(). Another bug was in the success case -
 gang creation incremented link count on root directory, but that was no longer undone when gang got
 destroyed. Fix consists of * reverting the commit in question * adding a counter to gang, protected by
 ->i_rwsem of gang directory inode. * having it set to 1 at creation time, dropped in both
 spufs_dir_close() and spufs_gang_close() and bumped in spufs_create_context(), provided that it's not 0. *
 using simple_recursive_removal() to take the gang directory out when counter reaches zero.
 (CVE-2025-22072)
