This bug has remained undetected since we currently just ignore all errors coming from the AEAD (see #2755).
We need to make sure that we only return an error if we're actually sure that the packet came from the peer, i.e. when decrypting the packet succeeds. Otherwise, and attacker could inject random packet (each of those giving him a chance of 50% to get the key phase bit right) to trigger this error.
