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: Bluetooth: hci_sync: fix race in
 hci_cmd_sync_dequeue_once hci_cmd_sync_dequeue_once() does lookup and then cancel the entry under two
 separate lock sections. Meanwhile, hci_cmd_sync_work() can also delete the same entry, leading to double
 list_del() and "UAF". Fix this by holding cmd_sync_work_lock across both lookup and cancel, so that the
 entry cannot be removed concurrently. (CVE-2025-40318)

Solution

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.1.159-1 or later.
