Machine-written summary

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

pqc_kyber built with the avx2 feature on x86_64 skips implicit rejection during decapsulation, in all versions. An attacker who submits ciphertexts to decapsulation under a reused key pair can recover the static secret key. No fix is listed; avoid the avx2 feature and do not reuse key pairs across decapsulations.
