CVE-2026-24850
The ML-DSA crate is a Rust implementation of the Module-Lattice-Based Digital Signature Standard (ML-DSA). Starting in version 0.0.4 and prior to version 0.1.0-rc.4, the ML-DSA signature verification implementation in the RustCrypto `ml-dsa` crate incorrectly accepts signatures with repeated (duplicate) hint indices. According to the ML-DSA specification (FIPS 204 / RFC 9881), hint indices within each polynomial must be **strictly increasing**. The current implementation uses a non-strict monotonic check (`<=` instead of `<`), allowing duplicate indices. This is a regression bug.

The original implementation was correct, but a commit in version 0.0.4 inadvertently changed the strict `<` comparison to `<=`, introducing the vulnerability. Version 0.1.0-rc.4 fixes the issue.

A partir de la versión 0.0.4 y antes de la versión 0.1.0-rc.4, la implementación de verificación de firma ML-DSA en el *crate* 'ml-dsa' de RustCrypto acepta incorrectamente firmas con índices de pista repetidos (duplicados). Según la especificación ML-DSA (FIPS 204 / RFC 9881), los índices de pista dentro de cada polinomio deben ser estrictamente crecientes. La implementación actual utiliza una comprobación monótona no estricta ('<=' en lugar de '<'), permitiendo índices duplicados. Esto es un error de regresión. La implementación original era correcta, pero un *commit* en la versión 0.0.4 cambió inadvertidamente la comparación estricta '<' a '<=', introduciendo la vulnerabilidad. La versión 0.1.0-rc.4 corrige el problema."
