Details
A vulnerability has been found in OP-TEE up to 4.10.x and classified as problematic. Affected by this vulnerability is the function memcmp of the component Hisilicon HPRE Crypto Driver. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a missing encryption vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-311. The product does not encrypt sensitive or critical information before storage or transmission. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality. The summary by CVE is:
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`.
The advisory is shared at github.com. This vulnerability is known as CVE-2026-41516 since 04/20/2026. The exploitation appears to be difficult. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploitation doesn't need any form of authentication. Technical details are known, but no exploit is available. MITRE ATT&CK project uses the attack technique T1600 for this issue.
Upgrading to version 4.11.0 eliminates this vulnerability.
