This patch has been running in the latest RHEL code since January, so I'm fairly confident in it, though we also know that this patch does not fully remove the timing signal. The other issue was bug 1893404 where the code got more strict than our existing code about returned signature sizes. A similiar fix to the one to curve p256 should be added before this patch is landed. This problem is more frequent for the 521 curve because the order of the curve has a 1 in the high bit, so the short signatures happen for 1 in 4 signatures rather than 1 in 512 signatures for p256 and p384.
