Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.162-1

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 462147

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: net: usb: rtl8150: fix memory leak on
 usb_submit_urb() failure In async_set_registers(), when usb_submit_urb() fails, the allocated async_req
 structure and URB are not freed, causing a memory leak. The completion callback async_set_reg_cb() is
 responsible for freeing these allocations, but it is only called after the URB is successfully submitted
 and completes (successfully or with error). If submission fails, the callback never runs and the memory is
 leaked. Fix this by freeing both the URB and the request structure in the error path when usb_submit_urb()
 fails. (CVE-2025-71154)

Solution

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