CVE-2026-6330 Details
Description
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 party could fail to detect a manipulated ciphertext and proceed without the standard's required implicit rejection.
A vulnerability exists in the ML-KEM implementation for ARM64 NEON in wolfSSL, where the ciphertext comparison fails to accurately assess the entire input. This oversight disrupts the implicit rejection process of the Fujisaki-Okamoto transform, thereby compromising the IND-CCA2 security assurance in that particular code path. The constant-time comparison inadvertently overlooked a portion of the re-encrypted ciphertext, allowing a party decapsulating the ciphertext to potentially miss signs of manipulation and proceed without the necessary safeguards.
Users are advised to update to wolfSSL version 5.9.1, where this vulnerability has been addressed.
