Echo: linux: security update to 6.12.48-1

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 458264

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: net: dsa: b53: do not enable EEE on
 bcm63xx BCM63xx internal switches do not support EEE, but provide multiple RGMII ports where external PHYs
 may be connected. If one of these PHYs are EEE capable, we may try to enable EEE for the MACs, which then
 hangs the system on access of the (non-existent) EEE registers. Fix this by checking if the switch
 actually supports EEE before attempting to configure it. (CVE-2025-38272)

Solution

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.12.48-1 or later.
