For anyone reading: Matrix didn’t bother fixing libolm’s sidechannels because instead we switched to a new Rust implementation at https://github.com/matrix-org/vodozemac https://github.com/matrix-org/vodozemac - which is what the vast majority (installwise) of Matrix clients use. The mea culpa is that libolm should have been explicitly deprecated much sooner.
