Description

An issue was discovered in Mbed TLS 2.x before 2.28.7 and 3.x before 3.5.2. There was a timing side channel in RSA private operations. This side channel could be sufficient for a local attacker to recover the plaintext. It requires the attacker to send a large number of messages for decryption, as described in "Everlasting ROBOT: the Marvin Attack" by Hubert Kario.

Affected configurations

• arm mbed tls (>= 2.0.0 < 2.28.7) • trustedfirmware mbed tls (>= 3.0.0 < 3.5.2)
