CVE-2026-23519: RustCrypto Utilities cmov: `thumbv6m-none-eabi` compiler emits non-constant time assembly when using `cmovnz`

January 15, 2026 (updated January 23, 2026)

thumbv6m-none-eabi (Cortex M0, M0+ and M1) compiler emits non-constant time assembly when using cmovnz (portable version). I did not found any other target with the same behaviour but I did not go through all targets supported by Rust.
