Description Andrej Nemec 2016-02-25 13:04:38 UTC
During RSA decryption, length of decoding of PKCS #1 v1.5 padding took was input dependent. If these differences could be measured by an attacker, it could be used to mount a Bleichenbacher million-message attack. PKCS #1 v1.5 decoding has been rewritten to use a sequence of operations which do not contain any input-dependent indexes or jumps. Notations for checking constant time blocks with ctgrind (https://github.com/agl/ctgrind) were added to PKCS #1 decoding among other areas.
