Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Rustls versions 0.23.13 through 0.23.44 accept TLS 1.3 handshake messages sent at the wrong encryption level when they follow a key-changing message in the same record. An attacker in a network position can inject plaintext handshake messages that rustls accepts, but cannot use this to alter or complete a handshake because the transcript remains authenticated. Upgrade to rustls 0.23.45, which contains the fix.
