CVE-2023-42811

aes-gcm is a pure Rust implementation of the AES-GCM. Starting in version 0.10.0
and prior to version 0.10.3, in the AES GCM implementation of
decrypt_in_place_detached, the decrypted ciphertext (i.e. the correct plaintext)
is exposed even if tag verification fails. If a program using the `aes-gcm`
crate's `decrypt_in_place*` APIs accesses the buffer after decryption failure,
it will contain a decryption of an unauthenticated input. Depending on the
specific nature of the program this may enable Chosen Ciphertext Attacks (CCAs)
which can cause a catastrophic breakage of the cipher including full plaintext
recovery. Version 0.10.3 contains a fix for this issue.
