Echo: linux: security update to 6.12.32-1

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 464154

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: PCI: endpoint: pci-epf-test: Fix
 double free that causes kernel to oops Fix a kernel oops found while testing the stm32_pcie Endpoint
 driver with handling of PERST# deassertion: During EP initialization, pci_epf_test_alloc_space() allocates
 all BARs, which are further freed if epc_set_bar() fails (for instance, due to no free inbound window).
 However, when pci_epc_set_bar() fails, the error path: pci_epc_set_bar() -> pci_epf_free_space() does not
 clear the previous assignment to epf_test->reg[bar]. Then, if the host reboots, the PERST# deassertion
 restarts the BAR allocation sequence with the same allocation failure (no free inbound window), creating a
 double free situation since epf_test->reg[bar] was deallocated and is still non-NULL. Thus, make sure that
 pci_epf_alloc_space() and pci_epf_free_space() invocations are symmetric, and as such, set
 epf_test->reg[bar] to NULL when memory is freed. [kwilczynski: commit log] (CVE-2025-38069)
