Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.135-1

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 457849

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: KVM: arm64: Tear down vGIC on failed
 vCPU creation If kvm_arch_vcpu_create() fails to share the vCPU page with the hypervisor, we propagate the
 error back to the ioctl but leave the vGIC vCPU data initialised. Note only does this leak the
 corresponding memory when the vCPU is destroyed but it can also lead to use-after-free if the
 redistributor device handling tries to walk into the vCPU. Add the missing cleanup to
 kvm_arch_vcpu_create(), ensuring that the vGIC vCPU structures are destroyed on error. (CVE-2025-37849)

Solution

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.1.135-1 or later.
