Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.148-1

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 462262

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: PCI: pnv_php: Fix surprise plug
 detection and recovery The existing PowerNV hotplug code did not handle surprise plug events correctly,
 leading to a complete failure of the hotplug system after device removal and a required reboot to detect
 new devices. This comes down to two issues: 1) When a device is surprise removed, often the bridge
 upstream port will cause a PE freeze on the PHB. If this freeze is not cleared, the MSI interrupts from
 the bridge hotplug notification logic will not be received by the kernel, stalling all plug events on all
 slots associated with the PE. 2) When a device is removed from a slot, regardless of surprise or
 programmatic removal, the associated PHB/PE ls left frozen. If this freeze is not cleared via a
 fundamental reset, skiboot is unable to clear the freeze and cannot retrain / rescan the slot. This also
 requires a reboot to clear the freeze and redetect the device in the slot. Issue the appropriate unfreeze
 and rescan commands on hotplug events, and don't oops on hotplug if pci_bus_to_OF_node() returns NULL.
