Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.153-1

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 462845

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: iio: light: opt3001: fix deadlock due
 to concurrent flag access The threaded IRQ function in this driver is reading the flag twice: once to lock
 a mutex and once to unlock it. Even though the code setting the flag is designed to prevent it, there are
 subtle cases where the flag could be true at the mutex_lock stage and false at the mutex_unlock stage.
 This results in the mutex not being unlocked, resulting in a deadlock. Fix it by making the opt3001_irq()
 code generally more robust, reading the flag into a variable and using the variable value at both stages.
 (CVE-2025-37968)

Solution

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.1.153-1 or later.
