Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.162-1

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 464973

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: hns3: using the num_tqps in the
 vf driver to apply for resources Currently, hdev->htqp is allocated using hdev->num_tqps, and kinfo->tqp
 is allocated using kinfo->num_tqps. However, kinfo->num_tqps is set to min(new_tqps, hdev->num_tqps);
 Therefore, kinfo->num_tqps may be smaller than hdev->num_tqps, which causes some hdev->htqp[i] to remain
 uninitialized in hclgevf_knic_setup(). Thus, this patch allocates hdev->htqp and kinfo->tqp using
 hdev->num_tqps, ensuring that the lengths of hdev->htqp and kinfo->tqp are consistent and that all
 elements are properly initialized. (CVE-2025-71064)

Solution

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