Timing Attack

Overview org.bouncycastle:bcprov-jdk15to18 is a Java implementation of cryptographic algorithms. Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Timing Attack through the GF arithmetic and the fixed-weight support sampler in HQCEngine. An attacker can recover information about the HQC private...

CVE-2026-18040

In Bouncy Castle for Java before 1.86, HQC leaked secret-derived data through two side channels: its GF2^8 arithmetic used lookup tables indexed by field elements, making the cache line touched a function of the operand, and its fixed-weight support sampler left its duplicate scan as soon as a...

CVE-2026-18040

Bouncy Castle for Java versions before 1.86 are vulnerable to the leakage of secret-derived data within the HQC implementation. The root cause involves two side channels: GF(2^8) arithmetic utilizing lookup tables indexed by field elements (making touched cache lines a function of the operand), a...

Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-18040

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available. - In Bouncy Castle for Java before 1.86, HQC leaked secret-derived data through two side channels: its GF2^8 arithmetic used lookup tables indexed by field...

CVE-2024-14041

In Bouncy Castle for Java from 1.73 to before 1.78, three ML-KEM CRYSTALS-Kyber routines divided secret-derived polynomial coefficients by the modulus q: Poly.toMsg, which decodes the decrypted message, and the ciphertext compression routines Poly.compressPoly and PolyVec.compressPolyVec. An...

CVE-2024-14041

Bouncy Castle for Java versions 1.73 to before 1.78 is affected by a timing-side-channel in ML-KEM (CRYSTALS-Kyber) decapsulation. Three routines divide secret-derived polynomial coefficients by the modulus q: Poly.toMsg (decoding the decrypted message) and the ciphertext compression routines Pol...

CVE-2024-36405

CVE-2024-36405 affects the liboqs reference Kyber KEM implementation. A control-flow timing leak arises when the Kyber KEM is compiled with Clang 15–18 under certain options (including -Os and -O1), enabling a local attacker to measure decapsulation timings and recover the entire ML-KEM 512 secre...

GHSA-HVH4-5QR6-3V7R Observable Timing Discrepancy in pypqc

Impact kyber512, kyber768, and kyber1024 on Mac OS \or when compiled with clang\ only: An attacker able to submit many decapsulation requests against a single private key, and to gain timing information about the decapsulation, could recover the private key. Proof-of-concept exploit exists for a...
