Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.162-1

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 460280

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: spi: fsl-cpm: Check length parity
 before switching to 16 bit mode Commit fc96ec826bce ("spi: fsl-cpm: Use 16 bit mode for large transfers
 with even size") failed to make sure that the size is really even before switching to 16 bit mode. Until
 recently the problem went unnoticed because kernfs uses a pre-allocated bounce buffer of size PAGE_SIZE
 for reading EEPROM. But commit 8ad6249c51d0 ("eeprom: at25: convert to spi-mem API") introduced an
 additional dynamically allocated bounce buffer whose size is exactly the size of the transfer, leading to
 a buffer overrun in the fsl-cpm driver when that size is odd. Add the missing length parity verification
 and remain in 8 bit mode when the length is not even. (CVE-2025-68773)

Solution

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