Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.148-1

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 462247

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: vsock: Do not allow binding to
 VMADDR_PORT_ANY It is possible for a vsock to autobind to VMADDR_PORT_ANY. This can cause a use-after-free
 when a connection is made to the bound socket. The socket returned by accept() also has port
 VMADDR_PORT_ANY but is not on the list of unbound sockets. Binding it will result in an extra refcount
 decrement similar to the one fixed in fcdd2242c023 (vsock: Keep the binding until socket destruction).
 Modify the check in __vsock_bind_connectible() to also prevent binding to VMADDR_PORT_ANY.
 (CVE-2025-38618)

Solution

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.1.148-1 or later.
