Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.159-1

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 457806

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: scsi: pm80xx: Set
phy->enable_completion only when we wait for it pm8001_phy_control() populates the enable_completion
pointer with a stack address, sends a PHY_LINK_RESET / PHY_HARD_RESET, waits 300 ms, and returns. The
problem arises when a phy control response comes late. After 300 ms the pm8001_phy_control() function
returns and the passed enable_completion stack address is no longer valid. Late phy control response
invokes complete() on a dangling enable_completion pointer which leads to a kernel crash. (CVE-2024-47666)

Solution

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.1.159-1 or later.
