Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.162-1

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 459695

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: scsi: smartpqi: Fix device resources
 accessed after device removal Correct possible race conditions during device removal. Previously, a
 scheduled work item to reset a LUN could still execute after the device was removed, leading to use-after-
 free and other resource access issues. This race condition occurs because the abort handler may schedule a
 LUN reset concurrently with device removal via sdev_destroy(), leading to use-after-free and improper
 access to freed resources. - Check in the device reset handler if the device is still present in the
 controller's SCSI device list before running; if not, the reset is skipped. - Cancel any pending TMF work
 that has not started in sdev_destroy(). - Ensure device freeing in sdev_destroy() is done while holding
 the LUN reset mutex to avoid races with ongoing resets. (CVE-2025-68371)

Solution

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