Comment 1 Garming Sam 2018-03-22 21:28:39 UTC
There appears to have been a mix up in the block and tag sizes.

And the correct buffer size needed to be sent to the gnutls_aead_cipher_encrypt function.

Dumping those values showed that coincidentally both tag and block sizes are 16 bytes, which possibly explained, why it wasn't noticed immediately. But for large enough blocks of data - in the given example it's a machine password, which can be up to 512 bytes and total allocated buffer exceeded 2Kb the last call parameter has to be properly initialized with the buffer size. for small chunks of data, seems, default value of 0 was good enough.
