Echo: linux: security update to 6.12.69-1

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 460336

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: iio: imu: st_lsm6dsx: fix
 iio_chan_spec for sensors without event detection The st_lsm6dsx_acc_channels array of struct
 iio_chan_spec has a non-NULL event_spec field, indicating support for IIO events. However, event detection
 is not supported for all sensors, and if userspace tries to configure accelerometer wakeup events on a
 sensor device that does not support them (e.g. LSM6DS0), st_lsm6dsx_write_event() dereferences a NULL
 pointer when trying to write to the wakeup register. Define an additional struct iio_chan_spec array whose
 members have a NULL event_spec field, and use this array instead of st_lsm6dsx_acc_channels for sensors
 without event detection capability. (CVE-2025-71198)

Solution

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.12.69-1 or later.
