Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.162-1

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 464849

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: drm/vmwgfx: Fix a null-ptr access in
 the cursor snooper Check that the resource which is converted to a surface exists before trying to use the
 cursor snooper on it. vmw_cmd_res_check allows explicit invalid (SVGA3D_INVALID_ID) identifiers because
 some svga commands accept SVGA3D_INVALID_ID to mean "no surface", unfortunately functions that accept the
 actual surfaces as objects might (and in case of the cursor snooper, do not) be able to handle null
 objects. Make sure that we validate not only the identifier (via the vmw_cmd_res_check) but also check
 that the actual resource exists before trying to do something with it. Fixes unchecked null-ptr reference
 in the snooping code. (CVE-2025-40110)

Solution

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