CVE-2026-41516

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

OP-TEE is a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) designed as companion to a non-secure Linux kernel running on Arm; Cortex-A cores using the TrustZone technology. Starting in version 4.5.0 and prior to version 4.11.0, the RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 decryption implementation in the Hisilicon HPRE crypto driver uses non-constant-time `memcmp()` for label hash verification and has multiple distinguishable error paths. This creates a Bleichenbacher-style padding oracle that allows an attacker to recover RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 plaintext. Version 4.11.0 contains a patch. As a workaround, disable Hisilicon HPRE RSA driver with `CFG_HISILICON_ACC_V3=n`.

A partir de la versión 4.5.0 y antes de la versión 4.11.0, la implementación de descifrado RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 en el controlador criptográfico Hisilicon HPRE utiliza ’memcmp()’ de tiempo no constante para la verificación del hash de la etiqueta y tiene múltiples rutas de error distinguibles. Esto crea un oráculo de relleno estilo Bleichenbacher que permite a un atacante recuperar texto plano RSA PKCS#1 v1.5. La versión 4.11.0 contiene un parche. Como solución alternativa, deshabilite el controlador RSA Hisilicon HPRE con ’CFG_HISILICON_ACC_V3=n’."
