Echo: linux: security update to 6.12.69-1

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 459703

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: Input: lkkbd - disable pending work
 before freeing device lkkbd_interrupt() schedules lk->tq via schedule_work(), and the work handler
 lkkbd_reinit() dereferences the lkkbd structure and its serio/input_dev fields. lkkbd_disconnect() and
 error paths in lkkbd_connect() free the lkkbd structure without preventing the reinit work from being
 queued again until serio_close() returns. This can allow the work handler to run after the structure has
 been freed, leading to a potential use-after-free. Use disable_work_sync() instead of cancel_work_sync()
 to ensure the reinit work cannot be re-queued, and call it both in lkkbd_disconnect() and in
 lkkbd_connect() error paths after serio_open(). (CVE-2025-71073)

Solution

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