CVE-2026-41514: OP-TEE: RSA-OAEP padding oracle in Hisilicon HPRE driver enables plaintext recovery

Severity: low (CVSS 3.3 v3.1)
Exploited in the wild: not listed in CISA KEV
EPSS: 0.1% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days

Weakness: CWE-208

Description

OP-TEE is a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) designed as companion to a non-secure Linux kernel running on Arm; Cortex-A cores using the TrustZone technology. Starting in version 4.5.0 and prior to version 4.11.0, the RSA-OAEP decryption implementation in the Hisilicon HPRE crypto driver uses non-constant-time `memcmp()` for label hash verification and has multiple distinguishable error paths. This creates a Manger-style padding oracle that allows an attacker to recover RSA-OAEP plaintext with approximately 1000-2000 adaptive chosen ciphertext queries. Only affects plat-d06 with `CFG_HISILICON_ACC_V3=y`, which seems to be disabled by default. Version 4.11.0 contains a patch. As a workaround, disable Hisilicon HPRE RSA driver with `CFG_HISILICON_ACC_V3=n`.

Affected products

Linaro/OP-TEE OP-TEE: from 4.5.0 through 4.10.0
