Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.162-1

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 460301

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: can: etas_es58x: allow partial RX URB
allocation to succeed When es58x_alloc_rx_urbs() fails to allocate the requested number of URBs but
succeeds in allocating some, it returns an error code. This causes es58x_open() to return early, skipping
the cleanup label 'free_urbs', which leads to the anchored URBs being leaked. As pointed out by maintainer
Vincent Mailhol, the driver is designed to handle partial URB allocation gracefully. Therefore, partial
allocation should not be treated as a fatal error. Modify es58x_alloc_rx_urbs() to return 0 if at least
one URB has been allocated, restoring the intended behavior and preventing the leak in es58x_open().
(CVE-2026-23037)

Solution

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