You can probably find the same or similar bugs in lots of crypto libraries. I occasionally fix similar issues in ring and BoringSSL so that the BoringSSL/LibreSSL/OpenSSL/ring community can discover and fix the issues.

Arguably, the real bug is that these crypto libraries even try to represent negative numbers at all in the first place. In ring I'm close to removing all support for negative numbers.
