An issue was discovered in the file-type package before 16.5.4 and 17.x before 17.1.3 for Node.js. A malformed MKV file could cause the file type detector to get caught in an infinite loop. This would make the application become unresponsive and could be used to cause a DoS attack.
Weakness
The product contains an iteration or loop with an exit condition that cannot be reached, i.e., an infinite loop.
