The vulnerability stems from the amd64-specific assembly implementation of Salsa20's XORKeyStream() function. The CVE description explicitly mentions the amd64 implementation's failure when counters exceed 32 bits. The commit b7391e95 shows modifications to the salsa20_amd64.s assembly file to fix counter handling. The GitHub issue #30965 confirms this affects the XORKeyStream implementation in the amd64 assembly code. The vulnerability manifests specifically in the low-level counter management logic that wasn't properly handling 64-bit values, leading to keystream repetition.
