Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.162-1

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 458672

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: drm/radeon: delete
radeon_fence_process in is_signaled, no deadlock Delete the attempt to progress the queue when checking if
fence is signaled. This avoids deadlock. dma-fence_ops::signaled can be called with the fence lock in
unknown state. For radeon, the fence lock is also the wait queue lock. This can cause a self deadlock when
signaled() tries to make forward progress on the wait queue. But advancing the queue is unneeded because
incorrectly returning false from signaled() is perfectly acceptable. (cherry picked from commit
527ba26e50ec2ca2be9c7c82f3ad42998a75d0db) (CVE-2025-68223)

Solution

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.1.162-1 or later.
