CVE-2026-41207: netty-incubator-codec-ohttp's HPKEContext operations may produce empty byte[] on failures

May 26, 2026 (updated June 9, 2026)

HKDF_expand: returns non-NULL on failure. The byte[] is filled with zeros and has no way to distinguish success from failure. Since this output is used as HKDF key material for the response AEAD, a failure silently produces an all-zero key.

When EVP_HPKE_CTX_export fails it also returns an empty byte[] array filled with zeros. This byte[] feeds directly into OHttpCrypto.createResponseAEAD(…). A silent all-zero export secret would produce a deterministic, attacker-predictable AEAD key.
