Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.180-1

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 461614

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: Input: synaptics-rmi4 - bound the F3A
keymap to the GPIO count rmi_f3a_initialize() takes the GPIO count from the device query register
(f3a->gpio_count = buf & RMI_F3A_GPIO_COUNT, range 0..127). rmi_f3a_map_gpios() then allocates
gpio_key_map with min(gpio_count, TRACKSTICK_RANGE_END) == at most 6 entries, but rmi_f3a_attention()
iterates the full gpio_count and dereferences gpio_key_map[i], and input->keycodemax is set to the full
gpio_count while input->keycode points at the 6-entry allocation. A device that reports gpio_count > 6
therefore causes an out-of-bounds read of gpio_key_map[] on every attention interrupt, and out-of-bounds
accesses through the input core's default keymap ioctls: EVIOCGKEYCODE reads past the buffer (leaking
adjacent slab memory to user space) and EVIOCSKEYCODE writes a caller-controlled value past it, for any
process able to open the evdev node, since input_default_getkeycode() and input_default_setkeycode() only
bound the index against keycodemax. Size the keymap for the full gpio_count. The mapping loop is
unchanged: it still assigns only the first min(gpio_count, TRACKSTICK_RANGE_END) entries; the remaining
slots stay KEY_RESERVED (devm_kcalloc zero-fills) and are skipped when reporting. (CVE-2026-64277)

Solution

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