Doc Text:
A flaw was found in Wasmtime. An attacker capable of supplying an untrusted WebAssembly (Wasm) module can cause undefined behavior in the host application. When processing a module containing an odd number of exception tags while exception handling is enabled, Wasmtime improperly aligns host fields within its internal virtual machine context (VMContext) structure. This memory misalignment can lead to unpredictable application execution or compromised host integrity.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-10-29 17:42:29 UTC
Wasmtime 47.0.0 before 48.0.6 and 49.0.0 before 49.0.3 contains a memory misalignment flaw in VMContext layout that causes undefined behavior when modules contain an odd number of exception tags. A WebAssembly module with an odd tag count misaligns subsequent host fields in embedders with exceptions enabled, although no exploitation path is currently known.
