GHSA-hvh4-5qr6-3v7r: Observable Timing Discrepancy in pypqc

June 5, 2024

kyber512, kyber768, and kyber1024 on Mac OS (or when compiled with clang) only: An attacker able to submit many decapsulation requests against a single private key, and to gain timing information about the decapsulation, could recover the private key. Proof-of-concept exploit exists for a local attacker.
