Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.158-1

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 465321

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: qed: Don't collect too many protection
 override GRC elements In the protection override dump path, the firmware can return far too many GRC
 elements, resulting in attempting to write past the end of the previously-kmalloc'ed dump buffer. This
 will result in a kernel panic with reason: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ADDRESS where
 "ADDRESS" is just past the end of the protection override dump buffer. The start address of the buffer is:
 p_hwfn->cdev->dbg_features[DBG_FEATURE_PROTECTION_OVERRIDE].dump_buf and the size of the buffer is
 buf_size in the same data structure. The panic can be arrived at from either the qede Ethernet driver

 Resolve this by clamping the firmware's return value to the maximum number of legal elements the firmware
 should return. (CVE-2025-39949)

Solution

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.1.158-1 or later.
