• crates.io cocoon: < 0.4.0 → fixed in 0.4.0

Description

Problem: Trying to create a new encrypted message with the same cocoon object generates the same ciphertext. It mostly affects `MiniCocoon` and `Cocoon` objects with custom seeds and RNGs (where `StdRng` is used under the hood). Note: The issue does NOT affect objects created with `Cocoon::new` which utilizes `ThreadRng`. Cause: `StdRng` produces the same nonce because `StdRng::clone` resets its state. Measure: Make encryption API mutable (`encrypt`, `wrap`, and `dump`). Workaround: Create a new cocoon object with a new seed per each encryption. How to Reproduce ```rust let cocoon = MiniCocoon::from_password(b"password", &[1; 32]); let mut data1 = "my secret data".to_owned().into_bytes(); let _ = cocoon.encrypt(&mut data1)?; let mut data2 = "my secret data".to_owned().into_bytes(); let _ = cocoon.encrypt(&mut data2)?; // data1: [23, 217, 251, 151, 179, 62, 85, 15, 253, 92, 192, 112, 200, 52] // data2: [23, 217, 251, 151, 179, 62, 85, 15, 253, 92, 192, 112, 200, 52] ``` Workaround For `cocoon <= 0.3.3`, create a new cocoon with a different seed per each `encrypt`/`wrap`/`dump` call. ```rust let cocoon = MiniCocoon::from_password(b"password", &[1; 32]); let mut data1 = "my secret data".to_owned().into_bytes(); let _ = cocoon.encrypt(&mut data1)?; // Another seed: &[2; 32]. let cocoon = MiniCocoon::from_password(b"password", &[2; 32]); let mut data2 = "my secret data".to_owned().into_bytes(); let _ = cocoon.encrypt(&mut data2)?; // data1: [23, 217, 251, 151, 179, 62, 85, 15, 253, 92, 192, 112, 200, 52] // data2: [53, 223, 209, 96, 130, 99, 209, 108, 83, 189, 123, 81, 19, 1] ```
