Echo: linux: security update to 6.10.9-1

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 464235

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: video/aperture: optionally match the
 device in sysfb_disable() In aperture_remove_conflicting_pci_devices(), we currently only call
 sysfb_disable() on vga class devices. This leads to the following problem when the pimary device is not
 VGA compatible: 1. A PCI device with a non-VGA class is the boot display 2. That device is probed first
 and it is not a VGA device so sysfb_disable() is not called, but the device resources are freed by
 aperture_detach_platform_device() 3. Non-primary GPU has a VGA class and it ends up calling
 sysfb_disable() 4. NULL pointer dereference via sysfb_disable() since the resources have already been
 freed by aperture_detach_platform_device() when it was called by the other device. Fix this by passing a
 device pointer to sysfb_disable() and checking the device to determine if we should execute it or not. v2:
 Fix build when CONFIG_SCREEN_INFO is not set v3: Move device check into the mutex Drop primary variable in
 aperture_remove_conflicting_pci_devices() Drop __init on pci sysfb_pci_dev_is_enabled() (CVE-2024-46698)

Solution

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.10.9-1 or later.
