Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure. When sampling randomness for a shared secret, the implementation of Kyber and FrodoKEM, did not check whether crypto/rand.Read() returns an error. In rare deployment cases (error thrown by theRead() function), this could lead to a predictable shared secret.
