Problem

CMS decryption with kuznyechik-ctr-acpkm produces corrupted plaintext for payloads larger than 4096 bytes.

The command exits successfully, but the decrypted output is incorrect. In the reproducer below, the 1024-byte file decrypts correctly, while the 8192-byte file differs from the original starting at byte 4097.

Reproducer

Assumption: OpenSSL with GOST engine support is already installed and configured.

tmpdir="$(mktemp -d)"
cd "$tmpdir"

Generate a fresh GOST private key and a self-signed certificate.

 openssl req -x509 \
   -newkey gost2012_256 \
   -pkeyopt paramset:A \
   -keyout key.pem \
   -out cert.pem \
   -nodes \
   -subj "/CN=acpkm-repro" \
   -days 1

Create two plaintext files: one below the 4096-byte boundary and one above it.

 head -c 1024 /dev/zero > text_1024.bin
 head -c 8192 /dev/zero > text_8192.bin

Encrypt both files with CMS using Kuznyechik CTR-ACPKM.

 openssl cms -encrypt \
   -binary \
   -outform DER \
   -kuznyechik-ctr-acpkm \
   -in text_1024.bin \
   -out text_1024.bin.p7e \
   cert.pem

 openssl cms -encrypt \
   -binary \
   -outform DER \
   -kuznyechik-ctr-acpkm \
   -in text_8192.bin \
   -out text_8192.bin.p7e \
   cert.pem

Decrypt both CMS files.

 openssl cms -decrypt \
   -binary \
   -inform DER \
   -inkey key.pem \
   -in text_1024.bin.p7e \
   -out decrypted_1024.bin

 openssl cms -decrypt \
   -binary \
   -inform DER \
   -inkey key.pem \
   -in text_8192.bin.p7e \
   -out decrypted_8192.bin

Compare original and decrypted files.

 sha256sum text_1024.bin decrypted_1024.bin
 sha256sum text_8192.bin decrypted_8192.bin

 cmp -s text_1024.bin decrypted_1024.bin && echo "1024 OK"
 cmp -s text_8192.bin decrypted_8192.bin && echo "8192 OK" || echo "8192 corrupted"

Show the first corrupted bytes.

 cmp -l text_8192.bin decrypted_8192.bin | head

Expected result: both decrypted files match the original files.

Actual result: the 1024-byte file matches, but the 8192-byte file does not. The first difference starts at byte 4097.

I created pr which fixes this issue: #528
