Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.162-1

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 461165

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: bfs: Reconstruct file type when
 loading from disk syzbot is reporting that S_IFMT bits of inode->i_mode can become bogus when the S_IFMT
 bits of the 32bits "mode" field loaded from disk are corrupted or when the 32bits "attributes" field
 loaded from disk are corrupted. A documentation says that BFS uses only lower 9 bits of the "mode" field.
 But I can't find an explicit explanation that the unused upper 23 bits (especially, the S_IFMT bits) are
 initialized with 0. Therefore, ignore the S_IFMT bits of the "mode" field loaded from disk. Also, verify
 that the value of the "attributes" field loaded from disk is either BFS_VREG or BFS_VDIR (because BFS
 supports only regular files and the root directory). (CVE-2025-68266)

Solution

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