Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.162-1

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 463843

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: can: gs_usb:
gs_usb_receive_bulk_callback(): fix URB memory leak In gs_can_open(), the URBs for USB-in transfers are
allocated, added to the parent->rx_submitted anchor and submitted. In the complete callback
gs_usb_receive_bulk_callback(), the URB is processed and resubmitted. In gs_can_close() the URBs are freed
by calling usb_kill_anchored_urbs(parent->rx_submitted). However, this does not take into account that the
USB framework unanchors the URB before the complete function is called. This means that once an in-URB has
been completed, it is no longer anchored and is ultimately not released in gs_can_close(). Fix the memory
leak by anchoring the URB in the gs_usb_receive_bulk_callback() to the parent->rx_submitted anchor.
(CVE-2026-23031)

Solution

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