Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.162-1

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 461701

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: hwmon: (w83791d) Convert macros to
 functions to avoid TOCTOU The macro FAN_FROM_REG evaluates its arguments multiple times. When used in
 lockless contexts involving shared driver data, this leads to Time-of-Check to Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) race
 conditions, potentially causing divide-by-zero errors. Convert the macro to a static function. This
 guarantees that arguments are evaluated only once (pass-by-value), preventing the race conditions.
 Additionally, in store_fan_div, move the calculation of the minimum limit inside the update lock. This
 ensures that the read-modify-write sequence operates on consistent data. Adhere to the principle of
 minimal changes by only converting macros that evaluate arguments multiple times and are used in lockless
 contexts. (CVE-2025-71111)

Solution

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