 - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: uacce: fix cdev handling in the
 cleanup path When cdev_device_add fails, it internally releases the cdev memory, and if cdev_device_del is
 then executed, it will cause a hang error. To fix it, we check the return value of cdev_device_add() and
 clear uacce->cdev to avoid calling cdev_device_del in the uacce_remove. (CVE-2026-23096)

Solution

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