Lifecycle Timeline
4Description
Wasmtime is a runtime for WebAssembly. In 43.0.0, cloning a wasmtime::Linker is unsound and can result in use-after-free bugs. This bug is not controllable by guest Wasm programs. It can only be triggered by a specific sequence of embedder API calls made by the host. Specifically, the following steps must occur to trigger the bug clone a wasmtime::Linker, drop the original linker instance, use the new, cloned linker instance, resulting in a use-after-free. This vulnerability is fixed in 43.0.1.
Analysis
Wasmtime 43.0.0 contains a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linker cloning mechanism that allows host embedders to trigger memory corruption through a specific sequence of API calls: cloning a wasmtime::Linker, dropping the original instance, and then using the cloned instance. This vulnerability is not exploitable by guest WebAssembly programs and requires deliberate misuse of the host API. …
