    Package        : haveged
    Version        : 1.9.14-1+deb11u1
    CVE ID         : CVE-2026-41054


    Dirk Mueller discovered that a flaw in the function performing a
    credential check on the command socket of haveged, a userspace entropy
    daemon, may result in local privilege escalation.


    For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version
    1.9.14-1+deb11u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your haveged packages.

    For the detailed security status of haveged please refer to
    its security tracker page at:
