A privilege escalation vulnerability was found in haveged. The socket_handler() function in src/havegecmd.c checks the connecting peer's uid via SO_PEERCRED and sends a NAK response to non-root callers. However, after sending the NAK, execution continued into the command switch instead of returning. This allowed unprivileged local users to send commands (MAGIC_CHROOT, MAGIC_CLOSE) to the root-running daemon via the abstract UNIX socket. Affected: all versions with command socket support (1.9.14+) Upstream fix: https://github.com/jirka-h/haveged/releases/tag/v1.9.21 Fix commit: https://github.com/jirka-h/haveged/commit/3870de0 SUSE bug: https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1264086 Fixed in: haveged-1.9.21-1 (rawhide, f44, f43, f42, epel9, epel10) Fixed in: haveged-1.9.14-2 (epel8, backported patch)
