Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.162-1

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 465161

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: uacce: implement mremap in
 uacce_vm_ops to return -EPERM The current uacce_vm_ops does not support the mremap operation of
 vm_operations_struct. Implement .mremap to return -EPERM to remind users. The reason we need to explicitly
 disable mremap is that when the driver does not implement .mremap, it uses the default mremap method. This
 could lead to a risk scenario: An application might first mmap address p1, then mremap to p2, followed by
 munmap(p1), and finally munmap(p2). Since the default mremap copies the original vma's vm_private_data
 (i.e., q) to the new vma, both munmap operations would trigger vma_close, causing q->qfr to be freed
 twice(qfr will be set to null here, so repeated release is ok). (CVE-2026-23056)

Solution

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