re2 provides Node.js bindings for Googles RE2 regular expression engine. Prior to 1.25.2, re2s String.prototype.match implementation with a global RE2 pattern that can match the empty string fails to advance its native matching cursor in lib/match.cc, causing an infinite loop and unbounded native memory growth that blocks the event loop and can exhaust host memory. This issue is fixed in 1.25.2.
Weakness
The product contains an iteration or loop with an exit condition that cannot be reached, i.e., an infinite loop.
