Echo: linux: security update to 6.12.10-1

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 462338

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: hwmon: (drivetemp) Fix driver
 producing garbage data when SCSI errors occur scsi_execute_cmd() function can return both negative (linux
 codes) and positive (scsi_cmnd result field) error codes. Currently the driver just passes error codes of
 scsi_execute_cmd() to hwmon core, which is incorrect because hwmon only checks for negative error codes.
 This leads to hwmon reporting uninitialized data to userspace in case of SCSI errors (for example if the
 disk drive was disconnected). This patch checks scsi_execute_cmd() output and returns -EIO if it's error
 code is positive. [groeck: Avoid inline variable declaration for portability] (CVE-2025-21656)

Solution

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.12.10-1 or later.
