GHSA-434v-x5qv-pmh6: libcrux has All-Zero Key Generation Upon Catastrophic RNG Failure

March 26, 2026

The libcrux-ed25519 key generation samples Ed25519 secret keys from a provided CSPRNG in a loop for up to 100 attempts until a non-zero key is found. If a non-zero key could not be sampled within 100 attempts the key generation function would silently continue with an all-zero buffer as the secret key.
