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.
