Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.159-1

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 457158

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: usb: dwc3: Fix race condition between
 concurrent dwc3_remove_requests() call paths This patch addresses a race condition caused by
 unsynchronized execution of multiple call paths invoking `dwc3_remove_requests()`, leading to premature
 freeing of USB requests and subsequent crashes. Three distinct execution paths interact with
 `dwc3_remove_requests()`: Path 1: Triggered via `dwc3_gadget_reset_interrupt()` during USB reset handling.
 The call stack includes: - `dwc3_ep0_reset_state()` - `dwc3_ep0_stall_and_restart()` -
 `dwc3_ep0_out_start()` - `dwc3_remove_requests()` - `dwc3_gadget_del_and_unmap_request()` Path 2: Also
 initiated from `dwc3_gadget_reset_interrupt()`, but through `dwc3_stop_active_transfers()`. The call stack
 includes: - `dwc3_stop_active_transfers()` - `dwc3_remove_requests()` -
 `dwc3_gadget_del_and_unmap_request()` Path 3: Occurs independently during `adb root` execution, which
 triggers USB function unbind and bind operations. The sequence includes: - `gserial_disconnect()` -
 `usb_ep_disable()` - `dwc3_gadget_ep_disable()` - `dwc3_remove_requests()` with `-ESHUTDOWN` status Path 3
 operates asynchronously and lacks synchronization with Paths 1 and 2. When Path 3 completes, it disables
 endpoints and frees 'out' requests. If Paths 1 or 2 are still processing these requests, accessing freed
 memory leads to a crash due to use-after-free conditions. To fix this added check for request completion
 and skip processing if already completed and added the request status for ep0 while queue.
 (CVE-2025-68287)
