Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.180-1

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 455198

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: staging: rtl8723bs: fix OOB read in
 update_beacon_info() IE loop The IE parsing loop in update_beacon_info() advances by (pIE->length + 2)
 each iteration but only guards on i < len. When a malicious AP sends a Beacon whose last IE has only one
 byte remaining in the frame (the element_id byte lands at len-1), the loop reads pIE->length from one byte
 past the allocated receive buffer. Additionally, even when the header bytes are in bounds, pIE->length
 itself can extend the data window beyond len, passing a truncated IE to the handler functions. Add two
 guards at the top of the loop body: 1. Break if fewer than sizeof(*pIE) bytes remain (can't read header).
 2. Break if the IE's declared data extends past len. Also replace i += (pIE->length + 2) with i +=
 sizeof(*pIE) + pIE->length for consistency with the sizeof(*pIE) guards added above. (CVE-2026-64443)

Solution

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