Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.180-1

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 463447

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: ALSA: firewire: isight: bound the
 sample count to the packet payload isight_packet() takes the frame count from the device iso packet and
 checks it only against the device claimed iso length. count = be32_to_cpu(payload->sample_count); if
 (likely(count <= (length - 16) / 4)) isight_samples(isight, payload->samples, count); length is the iso
 header data_length. It can be up to 0xffff. So the gate allows a count up to about 16379. isight_samples()
 then copies count frames out of payload->samples into the PCM DMA buffer. payload->samples holds only 2 *
 MAX_FRAMES_PER_PACKET values. The device multiplexes two samples per frame. A count past
 MAX_FRAMES_PER_PACKET reads past the payload. A count past the buffer size writes past runtime->dma_area.
 The smallest PCM buffer is larger than MAX_FRAMES_PER_PACKET. Bounding the count to MAX_FRAMES_PER_PACKET
 keeps both the read and the write in range. A malicious or faulty Apple iSight on the FireWire bus reaches
 this during a normal capture. Add the MAX_FRAMES_PER_PACKET bound to the gate. (CVE-2026-64483)

Solution

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