Subject: [PATCH v2 5/6] crypto/cnxk: use timing-safe digest comparison
Date: Mon, 29 Jun 2026 11:59:28 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260629190027.2071745-6-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260629190027.2071745-1-stephen@networkplumber.org>

compl_auth_verify() compared the generated and received MAC with
memcmp(), which returns early on the first differing byte and leaks
the number of matching leading bytes through timing.

Use rte_memeq_timingsafe() for the verify comparison.

Bugzilla ID: 1773
Fixes: 786963fdcf3e ("crypto/cnxk: add digest support")
Cc: stable@dpdk.org
