Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.162-1

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 462128

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: ALSA: usb-mixer: us16x08: validate
 meter packet indices get_meter_levels_from_urb() parses the 64-byte meter packets sent by the device and
 fills the per-channel arrays meter_level[], comp_level[] and master_level[] in struct
 snd_us16x08_meter_store. Currently the function derives the channel index directly from the meter packet
 (MUB2(meter_urb, s) - 1) and uses it to index those arrays without validating the range. If the packet
 contains a negative or out-of-range channel number, the driver may write past the end of these arrays.
 Introduce a local channel variable and validate it before updating the arrays. We reject negative indices,
 limit meter_level[] and comp_level[] to SND_US16X08_MAX_CHANNELS, and guard master_level[] updates with
 ARRAY_SIZE(master_level). (CVE-2025-68783)

Solution

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