Doc Text:
A flaw was found in Wasmtime. This vulnerability allows an untrusted guest program to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by bypassing execution limits. Due to an accounting flaw in Cranelift-compiled execution paths, a guest can reset consumed execution units (known as fuel) after specific function calls. Consequently, the guest module can run far longer than allocated, evading timeouts and exhausting host computing resources.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-10-22 19:43:23 UTC
Wasmtime 47.0.0 before 48.0.3 and 49.0.0 before 49.0.1 contains a fuel accounting flaw in Cranelift-compiled call_ref and try_table catch paths. Malicious guests can reset consumed fuel after calls to run exponentially long on linear fuel, evading timeouts and periodic yields for denial of service.
