Echo: linux: security update to 6.8.12-1

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 461109

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: gfs2: Fix potential glock use-after-
 free on unmount When a DLM lockspace is released and there ares still locks in that lockspace, DLM will
 unlock those locks automatically. Commit fb6791d100d1b started exploiting this behavior to speed up
 filesystem unmount: gfs2 would simply free glocks it didn't want to unlock and then release the lockspace.
 This didn't take the bast callbacks for asynchronous lock contention notifications into account, which
 remain active until until a lock is unlocked or its lockspace is released. To prevent those callbacks from
 accessing deallocated objects, put the glocks that should not be unlocked on the sd_dead_glocks list,
 release the lockspace, and only then free those glocks. As an additional measure, ignore unexpected ast
 and bast callbacks if the receiving glock is dead. (CVE-2024-38570)

Solution

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.8.12-1 or later.
