CVE-2024-37880
Last modified
CVE-2024-37880 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. The Kyber reference implementation before 9b8d306, when compiled by LLVM Clang through 18.x with some common optimization options, has a timing side channel that allows attackers to recover an ML-KEM 512 secret key in minutes. This occurs because poly_frommsg in poly.c does not prevent Clang from emitting a vulnerable secret-dependent branch.. EPSS estimates a 0.70% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
