Subject: [PATCH 4/5] crypto/armv8: use timing-safe digest comparison
Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2026 08:56:37 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260625160200.24170-5-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260625160200.24170-1-stephen@networkplumber.org>
The chained-op verify path compared the computed and expected MAC
with memcmp(), whose run time depends on the number of matching
leading bytes and can leak the digest to an attacker submitting
forged values.
Use rte_memeq_timingsafe() for the verify comparison.
Bugzilla ID: 1773
Fixes: 169ca3db550c ("crypto/armv8: add PMD optimized for ARMv8 processors")
Cc: stable@dpdk.org
