Summary

Wasmtime contains a missing GC rooting vulnerability that leaves references live across try_call unrooted when compiling Wasm modules. Attackers can supply Wasm modules whose callee triggers garbage collection, leaving stale or dangling references that cause GC heap corruption or incorrect execution.

Risk Assessment

This can lead to memory corruption and unpredictable behavior, potentially enabling code execution or denial of service. It affects applications using Wasmtime with GC.

Recommendation

Update Wasmtime to version 48.0.4 or 49.0.2 (or later). Avoid running untrusted Wasm modules with GC enabled until patched.
