Subject: [PATCH 2/2] crypto: keembay - use crypto_memneq() to compare CCM AEAD tags
Date: Fri, 7 Aug 2026 18:22:00 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <anYGKPaCNBgACGqK@david.gall> (raw)
Use crypto_memneq() for constant-time comparison.
The CCM path in ocs-aes.c verifes the received authentication tag with
memcmp(), which returns early on the first mismatched byte. This leaks
valid-prefix length and allows for valid tag forgery which violates the
INT-CTXT guarantee of AEAD.
