This note describes a polynomial attack on the new multilinear map over the integers presented by Coron, Lepoint and Tibouchi at CRYPTO 2015 (CLT15). This version is a fix of the first multilinear map over the integers presented by the same authors at CRYPTO 2013 (CLT13) and broken by Cheon et al. at EUROCRYPT 2015. The attack essentially downgrades CLT15 to its original version CLT13, and leads to a full break of the multilinear map for virtually all applications. A more complete version of the paper will be made available in the coming weeks. Nevertheless the main attack is given in full details.
