Machine-written summary

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

Versions of dcrypt-algorithms before 2.0.0 have a flaw in the low-level Gcm builder, which derived the nonce from the constructor instead of the value supplied per operation, so distinct nonces could be silently reused. The source does not describe what an attacker must do to exploit this. Upgrade to dcrypt-algorithms 2.0.0 or later, then identify keys that were used with affected versions, rotate them, and re-encrypt affected data, since the upgrade does not undo any nonce reuse that already occurred.
