Summary

Wasmtime contains a denial of service vulnerability in the wasmtime-wasi WASI preview 0 poll_oneoff adapter, which performs O(n) host work per subscription without consuming or checking fuel. Malicious guest modules can pass many subscriptions to force long-running host computation that ignores configured fuel limits.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can cause excessive CPU consumption and long response times, leading to denial of service. This can bypass resource limiting mechanisms.

Recommendation

Update Wasmtime to version 36.0.17, 48.0.4, or 49.0.2 (or later). Monitor CPU usage of guest instances and consider additional external limits.
