Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Key management errors (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-93160)

CWE-ID: CWE-320 - Key Management Errors

CVSSv4: 4.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a local user to derive a shared secret using a private key not generated for the current transform context.

The vulnerability exists due to improper cryptographic key management in atmel_ecdh_compute_shared_secret() when processing hardware ECDH shared-secret requests without a cached public key. A local user can submit a hardware ECDH shared-secret request without a cached public key to derive a shared secret using a private key not generated for the current transform context.
