TL;DR

On RISC-V RV32I with aggressive optimization, constant-time masking in sp_256_get_entry_256_9 can compile to conditional branches, breaking side-channel resistance for ECC scalar multiplication. A local attacker with timing visibility may recover key bits. The fix avoids the branchy lowering for this path.

Who does this affect?

You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range.
