OpenIDC/cjose is a C library implementing the Javascript Object Signing and
Encryption (JOSE). The AES GCM decryption routine incorrectly uses the Tag
length from the actual Authentication Tag provided in the JWE. The spec
says that a fixed length of 16 octets must be applied. Therefore this bug
allows an attacker to provide a truncated Authentication Tag and to modify
the JWE accordingly. Users should upgrade to a version >= 0.6.2.2. Users
unable to upgrade should avoid using AES GCM encryption and replace it with
another encryption algorithm (e.g. AES CBC).
