Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.180-1

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 458321

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: mfd: cros_ec: Delay dev_set_drvdata()
 until probe success If ec_device_probe() fails, cros_ec_class_release releases memory for the cros_ec_dev
 structure. However, because the drvdata was already set, sub-drivers like cros_ec_typec can still retrieve
 the stale pointer via the platform device. This leads to a use-after-free when cros_ec_typec attempts to
 access &typec->ec->ec->dev on a device that has already been released. Move dev_set_drvdata() to ensure
 that the pointer is only made available once all initialization steps have succeeded. sysfs: cannot create
