Subject: [PATCH] crypto: ccree - use crypto_memneq() to compare AEAD tag
Date: Sat, 15 Aug 2026 19:09:58 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <aoCdZiqJjb5XDHHz@david.gall> (raw)
cc_aead_complete() compares the computed MAC against the received ICV
with memcmp(), which short-circuits on the first differing byte and
leaks tag-match length via timing. Use crypto_memneq() instead.
