Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.180-1

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 457991

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 reads in
 IE loops in issue_assocreq() and join_cmd_hdl() Two IE parsing loops are missing the header bounds checks
 before they dereference pIE->length: - issue_assocreq() walks pmlmeinfo->network.ies to build the
 association request. If the stored IE data ends with only an element_id byte and no length byte,
 pIE->length is read one byte past the end of the buffer. - join_cmd_hdl() walks pnetwork->ies during
 station join and has the same problem under the same conditions. Both buffers are filled from AP beacon
 and probe-response frames, so a malicious AP that sends a truncated final IE can trigger the issue. Apply
 the two-guard pattern established in update_beacon_info(): 1. Break if fewer than sizeof(*pIE) bytes
 remain. 2. Break if the IE's declared data extends past the buffer end. (CVE-2026-64442)

Solution

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