Sounds like yet another attack exploiting PKE/KEM decryption failures: https://groups.google.com/a/list.nist.gov/forum/#!topic/pqc-forum/Hr2mTEW0nRo Certainly won't be the last decryption-failure attack. This attack is an example of decryption-failure question #2 from the original version of the NTRU Prime paper posted in 2016.

It's fascinating to look back at some dangerously overconfident responses to the paper, such as "There is abundant literature on CCA2-secure encryption/KEM from LWE problems, which in particular prevents attackers from triggering decryption failures in the sense described here".
