Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.147-1

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 457815

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: mtd: nand: ecc-mxic: Fix use of
 uninitialized variable ret If ctx->steps is zero, the loop processing ECC steps is skipped, and the
 variable ret remains uninitialized. It is later checked and returned, which leads to undefined behavior
 and may cause unpredictable results in user space or kernel crashes. This scenario can be triggered in
 edge cases such as misconfigured geometry, ECC engine misuse, or if ctx->steps is not validated after
 initialization. Initialize ret to zero before the loop to ensure correct and safe behavior regardless of
 the ctx->steps value. Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE. (CVE-2025-38277)

Solution

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.1.147-1 or later.
