Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.162-1

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 457605

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: w1: therm: Fix off-by-one buffer
 overflow in alarms_store The sysfs buffer passed to alarms_store() is allocated with 'size + 1' bytes and
 a NUL terminator is appended. However, the 'size' argument does not account for this extra byte. The
 original code then allocated 'size' bytes and used strcpy() to copy 'buf', which always writes one byte
 past the allocated buffer since strcpy() copies until the NUL terminator at index 'size'. Fix this by
 parsing the 'buf' parameter directly using simple_strtoll() without allocating any intermediate memory or
 string copying. This removes the overflow while simplifying the code. (CVE-2025-71197)

Solution

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