GHSA-v935-pqmr-g8v9: Unexpected panics in num-bigint
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 anunwrap()
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 constitute a denial-of-service vulnerability.
