A timing side-channel exists in the SM2 algorithm implementation on 64-bit ARM platforms. This issue could potentially allow a remote attacker to recover the private key through precise timing measurements. While remote key recovery over a network has not been demonstrated, timing measurements have revealed a timing signal that may enable such an attack. The vulnerability is considered a moderate severity issue, particularly in scenarios where support for SM2 certificates is added via a custom provider. The FIPS modules in OpenSSL versions 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, and 3.5 are not affected, as SM2 is not an approved algorithm.
