Bug ID: 69835
Summary: mediawiki.language.numbers.js can trigger an endless
loop
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.24-git
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Keywords: i18n
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: JavaScript
Assignee: [email protected]

Mobile Platform: ---
The helper function replicate in mediawiki.language.numbers.js has an endless
loop:
while (num) {
buf.push( str );
str += str;
}
Steps to reproduce (make sure you have no unsaved changes in your browser if
you need to kill it!):
1. Open the JavaScript console
2. Load the module with
mw.loader.load('mediawiki.language.numbers');
3. After it has loaded, execute
mw.language.commafy(1234.567, '###0.#####');
This should return something like '1234,567' (depending on the language of the
wiki), but instead triggers that endless loop, which will either freeze the
browser or produce an error message like "InternalError: allocation size
overflow".
