Two scenarios were reported where BigInt and BigUint multiplication may unexpectedly panic. The internal mac3 function did not expect the possibility of non-empty all-zero inputs, leading to an unwrap() panic. A buffer was allocated with less capacity than needed for an intermediate result, leading to an assertion panic. Rust panics can either cause stack unwinding or program abort, depending on the application configuration. In some settings, an unexpected panic may …
