CVE-2026-93160 — crypto: atmel-ecc - reject hardware ECDH without a public key

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: atmel-ecc - reject hardware ECDH without a public key The hardware ECDH path in atmel_ecdh_compute_shared_secret() uses the private key stored in the device. However, the public key is cached only after atmel_ecdh_set_secret() successfully generated that private key for the current tfm. atmel_ecdh_generate_public_key() already rejects requests when no public key is cached. Add the same check to atmel_ecdh_compute_shared_secret() to prevent the device from using a private key that was not generated for the current tfm.

Who exploits it and how urgent it is

A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.

No exploitation signal in the sources consulted so far.
How the score was calculated
  • EPSS 0.2% (30-day exploitation probability)+1

The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).

Triage

Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.

Remediation

Fixes and mitigations documented by the sources — linked to the original advisory.

No fix documented by the sources we poll. That does not mean none exists: check the vendor advisory.

First 24 hours

Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.

  1. Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (Linux Linux).
  2. No fix documented in the sources: reduce exposure and monitor the vendor advisory.
  3. Search available logs for exploit probes, errors and authentication anomalies.

Affected scope

Vendor, product and versions as the sources word them.
