Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.159-1

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 459958

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: usb: cdns3: gadget: Use-after-free
 during failed initialization and exit of cdnsp gadget In the __cdnsp_gadget_init() and cdnsp_gadget_exit()
 functions, the gadget structure (pdev->gadget) was freed before its endpoints. The endpoints are linked
 via the ep_list in the gadget structure. Freeing the gadget first leaves dangling pointers in the endpoint
 list. When the endpoints are subsequently freed, this results in a use-after-free. Fix: By separating the
 usb_del_gadget_udc() operation into distinct "del" and "put" steps, cdnsp_gadget_free_endpoints() can be
 executed prior to the final release of the gadget structure with usb_put_gadget(). A patch similar to
 bb9c74a5bd14("usb: dwc3: gadget: Free gadget structure only after freeing endpoints"). (CVE-2025-40314)

Solution

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