Subject: [PATCH 0/5] crypto: use timing-safe digest comparison
Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2026 08:56:33 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260625160200.24170-1-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)

Timing attacks in DPDK crypto were fixed earlier but
several drivers did not use the new timing safe comparison
operation.

First patch drops the experimental flag off rte_memeq_timingsafe().
The function is a static inline with no exported symbol, no ABI change.
This avoids having to turn on experimental flag in other drivers.

The rest convert the digest verify comparisons in the uadk, ccp,
armv8 and cnxk PMDs.

This problem was reported for several drivers and for those
the Reported-by was added.

Stephen Hemminger (5):
  eal: take experimental flag off of rte_memeq_timingsafe
  crypto/uadk: use timing-safe digest comparison
  crypto/ccp: use timing-safe digest comparison
  crypto/armv8: use timing-safe digest comparison
  crypto/cnxk: use timing-safe digest comparison
