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: wifi: rt2x00usb: fix devres lifetime
 USB drivers bind to USB interfaces and any device managed resources should have their lifetime tied to the
 interface rather than parent USB device. This avoids issues like memory leaks when drivers are unbound
 without their devices being physically disconnected (e.g. on probe deferral or configuration changes). Fix
 the USB anchor lifetime so that it is released on driver unbind. (CVE-2026-31672)

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.1.170-1 or later.
