Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.153-1

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 463471

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: dmaengine: idxd: Fix double free in
 idxd_setup_wqs() The clean up in idxd_setup_wqs() has had a couple bugs because the error handling is a
 bit subtle. It's simpler to just re-write it in a cleaner way. The issues here are: 1) If "idxd->max_wqs"
 is <= 0 then we call put_device(conf_dev) when "conf_dev" hasn't been initialized. 2) If kzalloc_node()
 fails then again "conf_dev" is invalid. It's either uninitialized or it points to the "conf_dev" from the
 previous iteration so it leads to a double free. It's better to free partial loop iterations within the
 loop and then the unwinding at the end can handle whole loop iterations. I also renamed the labels to
 describe what the goto does and not where the goto was located. (CVE-2025-39870)

Solution

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