Description

 - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ntfs3: fix uninit memory after failed
 mi_read in mi_format_new Fix a KMSAN un-init bug found by syzkaller. ntfs_get_bh() expects a buffer from
 sb_getblk(), that buffer may not be uptodate. We do not bring the buffer uptodate before setting it as
 uptodate. If the buffer were to not be uptodate, it could mean adding a buffer with un-init data to the mi

 if it’s not already, by overwriting it. (CVE-2025-68728)

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