Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.180-1

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 460575

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: tracing: Prevent out-of-bounds read in
 glob matching String event fields are not necessarily NUL-terminated, so the filter predicate functions
 (filter_pred_string(), filter_pred_strloc() and filter_pred_strrelloc()) pass the field length to the
 regex match callbacks, and the length-aware matchers honour it. regex_match_glob() was the exception: it
 ignored the length and called glob_match(), which scans the string until it hits a NUL byte. Some string
 fields are not NUL-terminated. One example is the dynamic char array of the xfs_* namespace tracepoints,
 which is copied without a trailing NUL. For such a field, glob matching reads past the end of the event
 field, causing a KASAN slab-out-of-bounds read in glob_match(), reached via regex_match_glob() and
 filter_match_preds() from the xfs_lookup tracepoint. Add a length-bounded glob_match_len() and use it from
 regex_match_glob() so glob matching always stops at the field boundary. The matching loop is factored into
 a shared helper so glob_match() keeps its behaviour. (CVE-2026-64299)

Solution

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