Echo: linux: security update to 6.12.94-1

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 458178

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: wifi: mt76: mt7921: Place upper limit
 on station AID Any station configured with an AID over 20 causes a firmware crash. This situation occurred
 in our testing using an AP interface on 7922 hardware, with a modified hostapd, sourced from Mediatek's
 OpenWRT feeds. In stock hostapd, station AIDs begin counting at 1, and this configuration is prevented
 with an upper limit on associated stations. However, the modified hostapd began allocation at 65, which
 caused the firmware to crash. This fix does not allow these AIDs to work, but will prevent the firmware
 crash. This crash was only seen on IFTYPE_AP interfaces, and the fix does not appear to have an effect on
 IFTYPE_STATION behavior. (CVE-2026-53317)

Solution

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.12.94-1 or later.
