Identification of Potential Issues in MathMasters Library Code by ljb630

Summary:
Upon review, the following findings were identified:

Vulnerability Details:
Division by Zero Check:
The mulWad and mulWadUp functions include unnecessary division by zero checks.
Overflow Handling:
The code lacks protection against overflow in intermediate steps during multiplication.
Gas Optimization:
The sqrt function's square root calculation could be optimized for reduced gas consumption.
Consistent Error Handling:
Error handling is inconsistent across functions, present for multiplication but not for other operations.
Inline Assembly Usage:
The use of inline assembly may compromise code readability and maintenance.
Impact:
These issues could potentially lead to unexpected behavior, inefficiency, or vulnerabilities in smart contracts utilizing the MathMasters library.

Tools Used:
Manual code review and analysis techniques were used to identify the potential issues.

Recommendations:
Remove unnecessary division by zero checks in mulWad and mulWadUp functions.
Implement safe arithmetic operations to mitigate overflow risks during multiplication.
Optimize the sqrt function's square root calculation for gas efficiency.
Ensure consistent error handling across all functions.
Consider refactoring inline assembly to Solidity for improved code clarity and ease of maintenance.

SafeMath library from OpenZeppelin is used to perform arithmetic operations safely, reducing the risk of overflow vulnerabilities.

        rootPrev = z;

    }
}
