[PATCH 1/2] crypto: nx - Fix timing leak in GCM and CCM decryption

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Using non-constant time memcmp() makes the verification of the authentication
tag in the decrypt path vulnerable to timing attacks. Fix this by using
crypto_memneq() instead.
