OP-TEE: RSA-OAEP padding oracle in NXP CAAM driver enables plaintext recovery

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 20.04.2026 Published: 06.07.2026 Updated: 07.07.2026

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 3.9.0 and prior to version 4.11.0, the RSA-OAEP decryption implementation in the NXP CAAM crypto driver uses non-constant-time memcmp() for label hash verification and has multiple distinguishable error paths. This creates a Manger-style padding oracle that allows an attacker to recover RSA-OAEP plaintext with approximately 1000-2000 adaptive chosen ciphertext queries. Version 4.11.0 contains a patch. As a workaround, disable the NXP CAAM RSA driver with CFG_CRYPTO_DRV_RSA=n.
