Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.140-1

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 465196

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: typec: altmodes/displayport:
 create sysfs nodes as driver's default device attribute group The DisplayPort driver's sysfs nodes may be
 present to the userspace before typec_altmode_set_drvdata() completes in dp_altmode_probe. This means that
 a sysfs read can trigger a NULL pointer error by deferencing dp->hpd in hpd_show or dp->lock in
 pin_assignment_show, as dev_get_drvdata() returns NULL in those cases. Remove manual sysfs node creation
 in favor of adding attribute group as default for devices bound to the driver. The ATTRIBUTE_GROUPS()
 macro is not used here otherwise the path to the sysfs nodes is no longer compliant with the ABI.
 (CVE-2024-35790)

Solution

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.1.140-1 or later.
