Review Summary

Reviewed the AVX2 assembly routine in `poly_decompress_d5.S`, which deterministically decompresses Kyber/ML-KEM polynomial data using SIMD loads, shuffles, masks, multiplies, and stores before returning. I found no concrete indicators of install-time hooks, network/exfiltration, credential access, dynamic code loading, obfuscation, persistence, or other supply-chain compromise behavior in the target file. Reviewed this ARM assembly implementation of `bignum_montsqr_p256_alt`, which performs a Montgomery square and writes the reduced 256-bit result back to the output buffer. I checked for install-time hooks, subprocess execution, network/exfiltration, credential access, dynamic code loading, obfuscation, and persistence behavior, and found no concrete malicious or supply-chain indicators in this file. Reviewed the ARM assembly routine for `bignum_montsqr_p256k1`, which implements a Montgomery square and final reduction for secp256k1 using only register arithmetic and memory reads/writes through the function arguments. I found no concrete indicators of install-time execution, network or exfiltration behavior, credential access, dynamic code loading, obfuscation, or persistence in this file. Reviewed `bignum_mul_p256k1.S`, a hand-written x86-64 assembly routine that computes secp256k1 field multiplication and stores the reduced result to the output buffer. I checked for install-time hooks, hidden subprocess execution, network or secret access, dynamic code loading, obfuscation/deobfuscation, and persistence tampering, and found no concrete malicious or supply-chain indicators. Reviewed `aws-lc/crypto/md4/md4.c`, which is a straightforward MD4 digest implementation using local state initialization, block processing, and finalization logic. I checked for install hooks, network/exfiltration, credential access, dynamic code loading, obfuscation, persistence tampering, and other hidden execution paths, and found no concrete malicious or supply-chain indicators in this file.
