Timing Attack

Overview phpseclib/phpseclib is a PHP Secure Communications Library - Pure-PHP implementations of RSA, AES, SSH2, SFTP, X.509 etc. Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Timing Attack via the getbinarypacket function. An attacker can potentially infer sensitive information about the...

DEBIAN-CVE-2026-40194

phpseclib is a PHP secure communications library. Starting in 0.1.1 and prior to 3.0.51, 2.0.53, and 1.0.28, phpseclib\Net\SSH2::getbinarypacket uses PHP's != operator to compare a received SSH packet HMAC against the locally computed HMAC. != on equal-length binary strings in PHP uses memcmp,...

phpseclib has a variable-time HMAC comparison in SSH2::get_binary_packet() using != instead of hash_equals()

phpseclib SSH2: Variable-time comparison in HMAC verification Summary phpseclib\Net\SSH2::getbinarypacket uses PHP's != operator to compare a received SSH packet HMAC against the locally computed HMAC. != on equal-length binary strings in PHP uses memcmp, which short-circuits on the first differi...
