Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Clatter versions before 2.2.0 allowed some post-quantum handshake patterns that violated the Noise PSK validity rule, including noise_pqkk_psk0, noise_pqkn_psk0, noise_pqnk_psk0, and noise_pqnn_psk0. The source gives few details on the exact attack, but it says PSK-derived keys could be used for encryption without proper ephemeral randomization, which could weaken security and enable key reuse. Upgrade to Clatter 2.2.0 or later, which adds runtime checks for offending patterns; until then, avoid the affected *_psk0 variants.
