What did you do?

Manual code review.

What did you see happen?

newCShake will silently misbehave if passed an extremely (unrealistically) large N or S, due to the multiply overflowing.

What did you expect to see?

There should be overflow checks for the multiplications in the following calls:
c.initBlock = append(c.initBlock, leftEncode(uint64(len(N)*8))...)
c.initBlock = append(c.initBlock, leftEncode(uint64(len(S)*8))...)

Alternatively leftEncode could be modified to support the full range of possible slice lengths.
