Upgrade Debian:11 guix to version 1.2.0-4+deb11u3 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream guix package and not the guix package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.
guix-daemon in GNU Guix before 5ab3c4c allows privilege escalation because build outputs are accessible by local users before file metadata concerns (e.g., for setuid and setgid programs) are properly addressed. The vulnerability can be remediated within the product via certain pull, reconfigure, and restart actions. Both 5ab3c4c and 5582241 are needed to resolve the vulnerability.
