Subject: [PATCH 1/2] crypto: keembay - use crypto_memneq() to compare GCM AEAD tags
Date: Fri, 7 Aug 2026 18:13:52 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <anYEQOzunX0Lm3N1@david.gall> (raw)

Use crypto_memneq() for constant-time comparison.

The GCM path in keembay-ocs-aes-core.c verifes the received
authentication tag with memcmp(), which returns early on the first
mismatched byte. This leaks valid-prefix length and allows for valid
tag forgery which violates the INT-CTXT guarantee of AEAD.
