DescriptionNVD

A vulnerability was detected in WebAssembly Binaryen up to 117. This issue affects the function IRBuilder::makeBrOn of the file src/wasm/wasm-ir-builder.cpp of the component BrOn Parser. Performing a manipulation results in reachable assertion. The attack needs to be approached locally. The exploit is now public and may be used. The patch is named 1251efbc1ea471c1311d2726b2bbe061ff2a291c. It is suggested to install a patch to address this issue.

AnalysisAI

Denial of service via reachable assertion in WebAssembly Binaryen up to version 117 allows local attackers with low privileges to crash the BrOn parser component by providing malformed WebAssembly bytecode that triggers an unhandled assertion in the IRBuilder::makeBrOn function, with publicly available exploit code and vendor patch already released.
