Echo: linux: security update to 6.12.63-1

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 462039

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: wifi: ath11k: Clear affinity hint
 before calling ath11k_pcic_free_irq() in error path If a shared IRQ is used by the driver due to platform
 limitation, then the IRQ affinity hint is set right after the allocation of IRQ vectors in
 ath11k_pci_alloc_msi(). This does no harm unless one of the functions requesting the IRQ fails and attempt
 to free the IRQ. This results in the below warning: WARNING: CPU: 7 PID: 349 at kernel/irq/manage.c:1929
 free_irq+0x278/0x29c Call trace: free_irq+0x278/0x29c ath11k_pcic_free_irq+0x70/0x10c [ath11k]
 ath11k_pci_probe+0x800/0x820 [ath11k_pci] local_pci_probe+0x40/0xbc The warning is due to not clearing the
 affinity hint before freeing the IRQs. So to fix this issue, clear the IRQ affinity hint before calling
 ath11k_pcic_free_irq() in the error path. The affinity will be cleared once again further down the error
 path due to code organization, but that does no harm. Tested-on: QCA6390 hw2.0 PCI
 WLAN.HST.1.0.1-05266-QCAHSTSWPLZ_V2_TO_X86-1 (CVE-2025-23129)

Solution

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.12.63-1 or later.
