bn.js affected by an infinite loop
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
This affects versions of the package bn.js before 4.12.3 and 5.2.3. Calling maskn(0) on any BN instance corrupts the internal state, causing toString(), divmod(), and other methods to enter an infinite loop, hanging the process indefinitely.
