How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:12 parcimonie to version 0.8.1-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream parcimonie package and not the parcimonie package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:12 relevant fixed versions and status.

parcimonie before 0.8.1, when using a large keyring, sleeps for the same amount of time between fetches, which allows attackers to correlate key fetches via unspecified vectors.
