CVE-2025-22866 is a timing side-channel vulnerability in Go's internal NIST elliptic-curve implementation affecting P-256 operations on ppc64le. A variable-time instruction in an internal assembly function leaks a small number of bits of secret scalars. The leakage is not believed sufficient to recover a private key when P-256 is used in well-known protocols.
