The GGM Construction does NOT yield Correlation Intractable Function Ensembles

The GGM construction is a natural way to obtain pseudorandom function ensembles from arbitrary pseudoramdon generators. This work shows that, in general, this construction does not yield correlation intractable ensembles. Specifically, it may happen that, given a description of such a function, one can easily find an input that is mapped to zero under this function.
