CVE-2025-7396 Information

Description

In wolfSSL release 5.8.2 blinding support is turned on by default for Curve25519 in applicable builds. The blinding configure option is only for the base C implementation of Curve25519. It is not needed or available with; ARM assembly builds Intel assembly builds and the small Curve25519 feature. While the side-channel attack on extracting a private key would be very difficult to execute in practice enabling blinding provides an additional layer of protection for devices that may be more susceptible to physical access or side-channel observation.
