Summary
libcrux-ecdh and libcrux-ed25519 before 0.0.6, and libcrux-psq before 0.0.7, contain cryptographic implementation bugs. libcrux-ecdh did not properly check length and clamping during X25519 secret validation (and had a broken clamping check for imported X25519 secret keys); libcrux-ed25519 performed a duplicated clamping step during key generation; and libcrux-psq panicked instead of propagating an AEADError. These were fixed in the respective patched releases.
