Machine-written summary

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

Versions 0.23.44 and 0.23.45 of rustls, and 0.24.0-dev.1 of rustls, are affected. When a server rejects Encrypted Client Hello, data a client wrote before the handshake completed is sent to the outer server named by public_name before the ech_required alert, which violates RFC 9849. The attacker needs no special access, since the exposed server is authenticated; the risk applies to clients using EchMode::Enable that write data early and hit a rejection, such as with a stale config. Upgrade to rustls 0.23.46 or 0.24.0-dev.2.
