The crypto-bigint migration ([RustCrypto/RSA#394](https://github.com/RustCrypto/RSA/pull/394)) did not close this.

Local use on a non-compromised computer is fine. ### References This vulnerability was discovered as part of the "[Marvin Attack]", which revealed several implementations of RSA including OpenSSL had not properly mitigated timing sidechannel attacks.
