166If \fBcert\fR is set to \s-1NULL\s0 all possible recipients are tried. This case however
167is problematic. To thwart the \s-1MMA\s0 attack (Bleichenbacher's attack on
168\&\s-1PKCS\s0 #1 v1.5 \s-1RSA\s0 padding) all recipients are tried whether they succeed or
169not. If no recipient succeeds then a random symmetric key is used to decrypt
170the content: this will typically output garbage and may (but is not guaranteed
171to) ultimately return a padding error only. If \fICMS_decrypt()\fR just returned an
172error when all recipient encrypted keys failed to decrypt an attacker could
173use this in a timing attack. If the special flag \fB\s-1CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT\s0\fR is set
