NSS implementation of AES key wrap permits inputs that are too short (per-RFC 3394). The input to Wrap is n 64-bit blocks, and "The only restriction the key wrap algorithm places on n is that n be at least two".

NSS checks against 0 but will allow a single block input.

CC'ing Bob for any FIPS concerns.

This was discovered by :mbirghan during Wycheproof test integration.
