Echo: linux: security update to 6.12.13-1

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 460422

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: i3c: dw: Fix use-after-free in
 dw_i3c_master driver due to race condition In dw_i3c_common_probe, &master->hj_work is bound with
 dw_i3c_hj_work. And dw_i3c_master_irq_handler can call dw_i3c_master_irq_handle_ibis function to start the
 work. If we remove the module which will call dw_i3c_common_remove to make cleanup, it will free
 master->base through i3c_master_unregister while the work mentioned above will be used. The sequence of
 operations that may lead to a UAF bug is as follows: CPU0 CPU1 | dw_i3c_hj_work dw_i3c_common_remove |
 i3c_master_unregister(&master->base) | device_unregister(&master->dev) | device_release | //free
 master->base | | i3c_master_do_daa(&master->base) | //use master->base Fix it by ensuring that the work is
 canceled before proceeding with the cleanup in dw_i3c_common_remove. (CVE-2024-57984)

Solution

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.12.13-1 or later.
