Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Poly1305 and ChaCha20-Poly1305 in ic-cipher versions 0.2.5 through 0.2.19 can panic or compute a wrong authentication tag on messages of 64 bytes or more. An attacker who can deliver a ChaCha20-Poly1305 ciphertext for opening can trigger the panic, which ends the process under panic = "abort" in builds with overflow checks on, and no key is needed. Upgrade ic-cipher to 0.2.20.
