wolfSSL's AVX2-optimized ML-KEM implementation mlkemcmpavx2 compares only 1536 of the 1568 ciphertext bytes during the Fujisaki-Okamoto re-encryption check in ML-KEM-1024 decapsulation. Ciphertexts that differ from the expected re-encryption solely in bytes 1536-1567 bypass implicit rejection and...

The ML-KEM ARM64 NEON ciphertext comparison only compares half of the input, breaking the Fujisaki-Okamoto transform's implicit rejection and weakening IND-CCA2 security on that code path. The constant-time comparison effectively ignored part of the re-encrypted ciphertext, so a decapsulating par...

Exploring Side-Channel Protections in Hardware Implementations of PQC ML-KEM Verification

As ML-KEM is adopted as a post-quantum cryptographic standard, resilience against physical side-channel attacks has become essential. Among the constituent steps, the decapsulation Fujisaki-Okamoto FO verification is particularly vulnerable to side-channel power and electromagnetic EM analysis. I...

CVE-2026-6330

The ML-KEM ARM64 NEON ciphertext comparison only compares half of the input, breaking the Fujisaki-Okamoto transform's implicit rejection and weakening IND-CCA2 security on that code path. The constant-time comparison effectively ignored part of the re-encrypted ciphertext, so a decapsulating par...

CVE-2026-10097

wolfSSL's AVX2-optimized ML-KEM implementation mlkemcmpavx2 compares only 1536 of the 1568 ciphertext bytes during the Fujisaki-Okamoto re-encryption check in ML-KEM-1024 decapsulation.

CVE-2026-10097

Summary: CVE-2026-10097 affects wolfSSL’s ML-KEM-1024 x64 AVX2 implementation. The Fujisaki-Okamoto decapsulation path performs an incomplete ciphertext check, failing to compare the final portion of the 1568-byte ciphertext. As a result, ciphertexts manipulated in those final bytes can bypass im...

CVE-2026-10097

wolfSSL's AVX2-optimized ML-KEM implementation mlkemcmpavx2 compares only 1536 of the 1568 ciphertext bytes during the Fujisaki-Okamoto re-encryption check in ML-KEM-1024 decapsulation.
