CVE-2025-7396 Details
Description
In wolfSSL release 5.8.2 blinding support is turned on by default for Curve25519 in applicable builds. The blinding configure option is only for the base C implementation of Curve25519. It is not needed, or available with; ARM assembly builds, Intel assembly builds, and the small Curve25519 feature. While the side-channel attack on extracting a private key would be very difficult to execute in practice, enabling blinding provides an additional layer of protection for devices that may be more susceptible to physical access or side-channel observation.
In wolfSSL version 5.8.2, blinding support for Curve25519 is enabled by default in certain builds. This blinding feature, intended to protect against side-channel attacks that could extract private keys, is only available in the base C implementation of Curve25519. It is not required or offered in ARM or Intel assembly builds, or with the small Curve25519 feature. While executing such a side-channel attack would be challenging, the added blinding layer benefits devices that might be more vulnerable to physical access or side-channel monitoring.
