The concrete security of multivariate post-quantum signature schemes is coming under increasing scrutiny as the NIST standardisation process for additional signatures approaches its final stages. Among the leading candidates, the security of MAYO and QR-UOV relies on the hardness of the underdetermined multivariate quadratic (MQ) problem. This work revisits Hashimoto's algorithm for solving underdetermined systems of MQ equations, reinterpreting it as a computation of a pseudo-oil subspace.
