EulerOS 2.0 SP12 : haveged (EulerOS-SA-2026-2532)

high Nessus Plugin ID 326149

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the versions of the haveged packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 In `src/havegecmd.c`, the `socket_handler` function performs a credential check on the abstract UNIX socket (`\0/sys/entropy/haveged`). However, while it detects if the connecting user is not root (`cred.uid != 0`) and prepares a negative acknowledgement (`ASCII_NAK`), it **fails to stop execution**. The code proceeds to the `switch` statement, allowing any local unprivileged user to execute privileged commands such as `MAGIC_CHROOT`.(CVE-2026-41054)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS haveged security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected haveged packages.
