@@ -51,6 +51,9 @@ The reasoning for each identified leak is explained below.
 
 In the analysis with DATA, leaks were detected in the functions `make_hint()` (:srcref:`[src/lib/pubkey/dilithium/dilithium_common]/dilithium_algos.cpp:843|make_hint`),
 and `hint_pack()` (:srcref:`[src/lib/pubkey/dilithium/dilithium_common]/dilithium_algos.cpp:232|hint_pack`).
+The leakage observation is due to a combination of the measurement method of DATA and the rejection method of ML-DSA.
+The rejection method leads to a changed pointer base address which is detected by DATA.
+Hence, the leaks of the hints are not considered problematic.
 The function `make_hint()` generates hints to verify the signature.
 The `hint_pack()` function adds these hints to the signature.
 In the pseudocode, this corresponds to the function `MakeHint()` in line 23.
