Summary: A flaw was found in WasmEdge, a WebAssembly runtime. A multiplication error within the `checkAccessBound()` function can lead to incorrect memory access. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to trigger a segmentation fault, causing the program to crash and resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
Remediation: Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base, or stability.

What, why and how

WasmEdge is a WebAssembly runtime. Prior to version 0.16.0-alpha.3, a multiplication in `WasmEdge/include/runtime/instance/memory.h` can wrap, causing `checkAccessBound()` to incorrectly allow the access. This leads to a segmentation fault. Version 0.16.0-alpha.3 contains a patch for the issue.

What

Why

The product performs a calculation that can produce an integer overflow or wraparound when the logic assumes that the resulting value will always be larger than the original value. This occurs when an integer value is incremented to a value that is too large to store in the associated representation. When this occurs, the value may become a very small or negative number.

How

An attacker operating through a network path may attempt exploitation without authentication or user interaction. If successful, the issue may cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor.

What

Why

How

Exploit reality and attack path

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.

Observed exploitation

Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.

No confirmed evidence

No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.

Public PoC / exploit material

Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.

None recorded

No exploit-tagged reference or CISA SSVC proof-of-concept state is currently recorded. Research may still exist outside the structured feeds.
