Description

Interestingly enough this bug has appeared in implementations, including at longer AAD lengths (~10k bytes). This is a tracking issue to remember there would be some value in creating some test vectors for this 😄

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is identified in the issue. Review the repository's existing test-vector conventions first, then determine how AES-GCM vectors for AAD lengths not divisible by 8, including long inputs, should be represented and validated; done means the new vectors cover that case.
