Echo: linux: security update to 6.12.96-1

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 457300

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: crypto: qat - protect service table
iterations with service_lock The service_table list is protected by service_lock when entries are added or
removed (in adf_service_add() and adf_service_remove()), but several functions iterate over the list
without holding this lock. A concurrent adf_service_register() or adf_service_unregister() call could
modify the list during traversal, leading to list corruption or a use-after-free. Fix this by holding
service_lock across all list_for_each_entry() iterations of service_table in adf_dev_init(),
adf_dev_start(), adf_dev_stop(), adf_dev_shutdown(), adf_dev_restarting_notify(),
adf_dev_restarted_notify(), and adf_error_notifier(). The lock ordering is safe: callers of the static
helpers (adf_dev_up() and adf_dev_down()) acquire state_lock before service_lock, and no event_hld
callback or service_lock holder ever acquires state_lock in the reverse order. (CVE-2026-64305)

Solution

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.12.96-1 or later.
