Echo: linux: security update to 6.12.85-1

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 462499

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: HID: logitech-hidpp: Prevent use-
 after-free on force feedback initialisation failure Presently, if the force feedback initialisation fails
 when probing the Logitech G920 Driving Force Racing Wheel for Xbox One, an error number will be returned
 and propagated before the userspace infrastructure (sysfs and /dev/input) has been torn down. If userspace
 ignores the errors and continues to use its references to these dangling entities, a UAF will promptly
 follow. We have 2 options; continue to return the error, but ensure that all of the infrastructure is torn
 down accordingly or continue to treat this condition as a warning by emitting the message but returning
 success. It is thought that the original author's intention was to emit the warning but keep the device
 functional, less the force feedback feature, so let's go with that. (CVE-2026-43049)

Solution

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.12.85-1 or later.
