Echo: linux: security update to 6.7.12-1

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 460449

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: dm-raid456, md/raid456: fix a deadlock
 for dm-raid456 while io concurrent with reshape For raid456, if reshape is still in progress, then IO
 across reshape position will wait for reshape to make progress. However, for dm-raid, in following cases
 reshape will never make progress hence IO will hang: 1) the array is read-only; 2) MD_RECOVERY_WAIT is
 set; 3) MD_RECOVERY_FROZEN is set; After commit c467e97f079f ("md/raid6: use valid sector values to
 determine if an I/O should wait on the reshape") fix the problem that IO across reshape position doesn't
 wait for reshape, the dm-raid test shell/lvconvert-raid-reshape.sh start to hang: [root@fedora ~]# cat

 This is because reshape can't make progress. For md/raid, the problem doesn't exist because register new
 sync_thread doesn't rely on the IO to be done any more: 1) If array is read-only, it can switch to read-
 write by ioctl/sysfs; 2) md/raid never set MD_RECOVERY_WAIT; 3) If MD_RECOVERY_FROZEN is set,
 mddev_suspend() doesn't hold 'reconfig_mutex', hence it can be cleared and reshape can continue by sysfs
 api 'sync_action'. However, I'm not sure yet how to avoid the problem in dm-raid yet. This patch on the
 one hand make sure raid_message() can't change sync_thread() through raid_message() after presuspend(), on
 the other hand detect the above 3 cases before wait for IO do be done in dm_suspend(), and let dm-raid
 requeue those IO. (CVE-2024-26962)

Solution

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.7.12-1 or later.
