I Read OpenSSL for Fun and Found a Nonce Leak

I was poking around the OpenSSL source code recently. Not really hunting for anything specific (one of the most heavily audited codebases), just curious about how the new post-quantum crypto stuff was wired up in version 4.0.0. I went in expecting to find nothing interesting. Instead I tripped over a single-character logic bug that leaks cryptographic randomness onto the stack on every signing call. Quick disclaimer: I am not a crypto person.
