There are no known problems with loop-AES.

loop-AES used to be loop-TripleDES for many years. loop-TripleDES was block
length doubled triple DES. loop-TripleDES has never failed, and neither has
loop-AES.

The AES cipher in loop-AES as well as SHA-256/384/512 hashes match all
published test vectors I could find.
