Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.162-1

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 458849

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: libceph: make decode_pool() more
 resilient against corrupted osdmaps If the osdmap is (maliciously) corrupted such that the encoded length
 of ceph_pg_pool envelope is less than what is expected for a particular encoding version, out-of-bounds
 reads may ensue because the only bounds check that is there is based on that length value. This patch adds
 explicit bounds checks for each field that is decoded or skipped. (CVE-2025-71116)

Solution

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