Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.162-1

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 461908

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: regmap: Fix race condition in
 hwspinlock irqsave routine Previously, the address of the shared member '&map->spinlock_flags' was passed
 directly to 'hwspin_lock_timeout_irqsave'. This creates a race condition where multiple contexts
 contending for the lock could overwrite the shared flags variable, potentially corrupting the state for
 the current lock owner. Fix this by using a local stack variable 'flags' to store the IRQ state
 temporarily. (CVE-2026-23071)

Solution

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