Fedora 43 brings vital patch for privilege elevation issue in Haveged

A Linux entropy source using the HAVEGE algorithm

Haveged is a user space entropy daemon which is not dependent upon the

standard mechanisms for harvesting randomness for the system entropy

pool. This is important in systems with high entropy needs or limited

user interaction (e.g. headless servers).

Haveged uses HAVEGE (HArdware Volatile Entropy Gathering and Expansion)

to maintain a 1M pool of random bytes used to fill /dev/random

whenever the supply of random bits in /dev/random falls below the low

water mark of the device. The principle inputs to haveged are the

sizes of the processor instruction and data caches used to setup the

HAVEGE collector. The haveged default is a 4kb data cache and a 16kb

instruction cache. On machines with a cpuid instruction, haveged will

attempt to select appropriate values from internal tables.
