Improper resource allocation In node-forge
Description
A flaw was found in the node-forge library, a JavaScript implementation of Transport Layer Security. This vulnerability, inherited from the bundled jsbn library, allows a remote attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS). When the BigInteger.modInverse() function is called with a zero value, it enters an infinite loop, causing the process to hang indefinitely and consume 100% of the CPU resources.
Mitigation
Update Impact
