In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ACPI: driver: Check ACPI_COMPANION() against NULL during probe Since every platform driver can be forced to match a device that doesn't match its list of device IDs because of device_match_driver_override(), platform drivers that rely on the existence of a device's ACPI companion object should verify its presence. Accordingly, add requisite ACPI_COMPANION() or ACPI_HANDLE() checks against NULL to 13 platform drivers handling core ACPI devices. Also change the value returned by the ACPI thermal zone driver when the device's ACPI companion is not present to -ENODEV for consistency with the other drivers.

    Linux 6.12 has been packaged for Debian 12 bookworm as linux-6.12.
    This provides a supported upgrade path for systems that currently use     kernel packages from the bookworm-backports suite.

    There is no need to upgrade systems using Linux 6.1, as that kernel     version will also continue to be supported in the LTS period.

    The apt full-upgrade command will *not* automatically install the     updated kernel packages.  You should explicitly install one of the     following metapackages first, as appropriate for your system:

        linux-image-6.12-amd64         linux-image-6.12-arm64         linux-image-6.12-arm64-16k         linux-image-6.12-armmp         linux-image-6.12-armmp-lpae         linux-image-6.12-cloud-amd64         linux-image-6.12-cloud-arm64         linux-image-6.12-powerpc64le         linux-image-6.12-powerpc64le-64k         linux-image-6.12-rt-amd64         linux-image-6.12-rt-arm64         linux-image-6.12-rt-armmp

    For example, if the command uname -r currently shows     6.12.95+deb12-amd64, you should install linux-image-6.12-amd64.

    This backport does not include the following binary packages:

        bpftool hyperv-daemons intel-sdsi libcpupower-dev libcpupower1         linux-cpupower linux-libc-dev linux-perf rtla usbip

    Older versions of most of those are built from the linux source     package in Debian 12.

    Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that     may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information     leaks.

    For Debian 12 bookworm, these problems have been fixed in version     6.12.100-1~deb12u1.  This update also fixes several bugs reported to     Debian.  It additionally includes many more bug fixes from stable     updates 6.12.96-6.12.100.

    We recommend that you upgrade your linux-6.12 packages.

    For the detailed security status of linux-6.12 please refer to     its security tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/linux-6.12
