Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.153-1

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 465736

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: wifi: mwifiex: Initialize the
 chan_stats array to zero The adapter->chan_stats[] array is initialized in mwifiex_init_channel_scan_gap()
 with vmalloc(), which doesn't zero out memory. The array is filled in mwifiex_update_chan_statistics() and
 then the user can query the data in mwifiex_cfg80211_dump_survey(). There are two potential issues here.
 What if the user calls mwifiex_cfg80211_dump_survey() before the data has been filled in. Also the
 mwifiex_update_chan_statistics() function doesn't necessarily initialize the whole array. Since the array
 was not initialized at the start that could result in an information leak. Also this array is pretty
 small. It's a maximum of 900 bytes so it's more appropriate to use kcalloc() instead vmalloc().
 (CVE-2025-39891)

Solution

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