Summary
Low-level GCM ignores the operation nonce
Details
In all published versions of dcrypt-algorithms before 2.0.0, the low-level
Gcm builder required an operation nonce but derived J0 from the nonce
captured by the original Gcm constructor. Multiple operations could therefore
silently reuse a nonce even when callers supplied distinct values, compromising
confidentiality and authenticity under an affected key.
Version 2.0.0 makes Gcm key-only and passes the operation nonce through IV
derivation, encryption, and decryption. It also corrects non-96-bit IV
processing, rejects tags shorter than 96 bits, and enforces counter limits.
Applications must upgrade, identify affected keys, rotate them, and re-encrypt
affected data; updating the implementation cannot restore security after nonce
reuse.
