Echo: linux: security update to 6.12.69-1

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 460796

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: phy: qcom-qusb2: Fix NULL pointer
 dereference on early suspend Enabling runtime PM before attaching the QPHY instance as driver data can
 lead to a NULL pointer dereference in runtime PM callbacks that expect valid driver data. There is a small
 window where the suspend callback may run after PM runtime enabling and before runtime forbid. This causes
 a sporadic crash during boot: ``` Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address
 00000000000000a1 [...] CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 11 Comm: kworker/0:1 Not tainted 6.16.7+ #116 PREEMPT Workqueue:
 pm pm_runtime_work pstate: 20000005 (nzCv daif -PAN -UAO -TCO -DIT -SSBS BTYPE=--) pc :
 qusb2_phy_runtime_suspend+0x14/0x1e0 [phy_qcom_qusb2] lr : pm_generic_runtime_suspend+0x2c/0x44 [...] ```
 Attach the QPHY instance as driver data before enabling runtime PM to prevent NULL pointer dereference in
 runtime PM callbacks. Reorder pm_runtime_enable() and pm_runtime_forbid() to prevent a short window where
 an unnecessary runtime suspend can occur. Use the devres-managed version to ensure PM runtime is
 symmetrically disabled during driver removal for proper cleanup. (CVE-2025-71193)

Solution

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