Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.180-1

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 463576

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: USB: misc: uss720: unregister parport
 on probe failure uss720_probe() registers a parport before reading the 1284 register used to detect
 unsupported Belkin F5U002 adapters. If get_1284_register() fails, the error path drops the driver private
 data and the USB device reference, but leaves the parport device registered. Leaving the port registered
 is more than a private allocation leak: parport_register_port() has already reserved a parport number and
 registered the parport bus device, while pp->private_data still points at the private data that the common
 error path is about to release. Undo the pre-announce registration in the get_1284_register() failure
 branch before jumping to the common private-data cleanup path. Clear priv->pp first, matching the
 disconnect path and avoiding a stale pointer in the private data. This issue was identified during our
 ongoing static-analysis research while reviewing kernel code. (CVE-2026-64338)

Solution

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