Echo: linux: security update to 6.7.12-1

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 463156

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: dm-raid: really frozen sync_thread
 during suspend 1) commit f52f5c71f3d4 ("md: fix stopping sync thread") remove MD_RECOVERY_FROZEN from
 __md_stop_writes() and doesn't realize that dm-raid relies on __md_stop_writes() to frozen sync_thread
 indirectly. Fix this problem by adding MD_RECOVERY_FROZEN in md_stop_writes(), and since
 stop_sync_thread() is only used for dm-raid in this case, also move stop_sync_thread() to
 md_stop_writes(). 2) The flag MD_RECOVERY_FROZEN doesn't mean that sync thread is frozen, it only prevent
 new sync_thread to start, and it can't stop the running sync thread; In order to frozen sync_thread, after
 seting the flag, stop_sync_thread() should be used. 3) The flag MD_RECOVERY_FROZEN doesn't mean that
 writes are stopped, use it as condition for md_stop_writes() in raid_postsuspend() doesn't look correct.
 Consider that reentrant stop_sync_thread() do nothing, always call md_stop_writes() in raid_postsuspend().
 4) raid_message can set/clear the flag MD_RECOVERY_FROZEN at anytime, and if MD_RECOVERY_FROZEN is cleared
 while the array is suspended, new sync_thread can start unexpected. Fix this by disallow raid_message() to
 change sync_thread status during suspend. Note that after commit f52f5c71f3d4 ("md: fix stopping sync
 thread"), the test shell/lvconvert-raid-reshape.sh start to hang in stop_sync_thread(), and with previous
 fixes, the test won't hang there anymore, however, the test will still fail and complain that ext4 is
 corrupted. And with this patch, the test won't hang due to stop_sync_thread() or fail due to ext4 is
 corrupted anymore. However, there is still a deadlock related to dm-raid456 that will be fixed in
 following patches. (CVE-2024-35794)

Solution
