+In OpenSSL before version 3.2.0, both the return value and the length of
+returned value could be used to mount the Bleichenbacher attack.
+Since version 3.2.0, the default provider in OpenSSL does not return an
+error when padding checks fail. Instead it generates a random
+message based on used private
+key and provided ciphertext so that application code doesn't have to implement
+a side-channel secure error handling.
+Applications that want to be secure against side-channel attacks with
+providers that don't implement implicit rejection, still need to
+handle the returned values using side-channel free code.
+Side-channel free handling of the error stack can be performed using
+either a pair of unconditional \fBERR_set_mark\fR\|(3) and \fBERR_pop_to_mark\fR\|(3)
+calls or by using the \fBERR_clear_error\fR\|(3) call.
