Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.162-1

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 464134

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: kvaser_usb:
 kvaser_usb_read_bulk_callback(): fix URB memory leak Fix similar memory leak as in commit 7352e1d5932a
 ("can: gs_usb: gs_usb_receive_bulk_callback(): fix URB memory leak"). In
 kvaser_usb_set_{,data_}bittiming() -> kvaser_usb_setup_rx_urbs(), the URBs for USB-in transfers are
 allocated, added to the dev->rx_submitted anchor and submitted. In the complete callback
 kvaser_usb_read_bulk_callback(), the URBs are processed and resubmitted. In kvaser_usb_remove_interfaces()
 the URBs are freed by calling usb_kill_anchored_urbs(&dev->rx_submitted). However, this does not take into
 account that the USB framework unanchors the URB before the complete function is called. This means that
 once an in-URB has been completed, it is no longer anchored and is ultimately not released in
 usb_kill_anchored_urbs(). Fix the memory leak by anchoring the URB in the kvaser_usb_read_bulk_callback()
 to the dev->rx_submitted anchor. (CVE-2026-23061)

Solution

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