An strace of the spinning haveged shows this: ``` accept4(0, NULL, NULL, SOCK_CLOEXEC|SOCK_NONBLOCK) = -1 ENOTSOCK (Socket operation on non-socket) pselect6(4, [0], [3], NULL, {tv_sec=2, tv_nsec=0}, {sigmask=[], sigsetsize=8}) = 1 (in [0], left {tv_sec=1, tv_nsec=999999519}) ``` It's doing that in a loop. Downgrading to 1.9.22 resolves the problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.upgrade to new version in updates-testing 2.reboot 3.observe with top Actual Results: 100% CPU Expected Results: normal system operation

Thank you for the bug report! Root cause: socket_fd was declared as a global int socket_fd; in havegecmd.c, which defaults to 0. With the new --no-command flag added in v1.9.24, socket initialization is skipped, so socket_fd stays at 0. The daemon loop checks if (socket_fd >= 0) and enters accept4(0, ...), spinning on stdin (fd 0) in a tight loop. Fix (v1.9.26): Initialize socket_fd = -1 so the daemon loop correctly skips the accept path when command mode is disabled. - Upstream release: https://github.com/jirka-h/haveged/releases/tag/v1.9.26 - Bodhi update (F44): https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2026-28f26f5294 - Updates also submitted for F43, EPEL 10.2, EPEL 10, and EPEL 9. Could you help to verify the fix once the update appears in updates-testing?
