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: rtl818x: Fix potential memory
 leaks in rtl8180_init_rx_ring() In rtl8180_init_rx_ring(), memory is allocated for skb packets and DMA
 allocations in a loop. When an allocation fails, the previously successful allocations are not freed on
 exit. Fix that by jumping to err_free_rings label on error, which calls rtl8180_free_rx_ring() to free the
 allocations. Remove the free of rx_ring in rtl8180_init_rx_ring() error path, and set the freed
 priv->rx_buf entry to null, to avoid double free. (CVE-2025-68759)

Solution

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