Overview

orion is a cryptography library written in pure Rust.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Cryptographic Weakness. It did not properly reset a streaming state. Resetting a streaming state, without finalising it first, creates incorrect results. It was fixed by not first checking if the state had already been reset, when calling reset().
