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: HID: wacom: fix out-of-bounds read in
 wacom_intuos_bt_irq The wacom_intuos_bt_irq() function processes Bluetooth HID reports without sufficient
 bounds checking. A maliciously crafted short report can trigger an out-of-bounds read when copying data
 into the wacom structure. Specifically, report 0x03 requires at least 22 bytes to safely read the
 processed data and battery status, while report 0x04 (which falls through to 0x03) requires 32 bytes. Add
 explicit length checks for these report IDs and log a warning if a short report is received.
 (CVE-2026-43051)

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.1.170-1 or later.
