Machine-written summary

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

The libcrux-ml-dsa package, versions before 0.0.9, has a flaw in its AVX2 implementation of ML-DSA signature verification, where an edge case in the use_hint function is mishandled. An attacker who can supply a maliciously generated verification key could get the verifier to accept a crafted invalid signature, but only when the AVX2 code path is used. Upgrade to version 0.0.9 or later, which rejects these invalid signatures.
