AI-suggested

Fixed versions 48.0.6 and 49.0.3 are available and should be applied to remediate this vulnerability. Users should upgrade Wasmtime to at least version 48.0.6 or 49.0.3 depending on their current version. No other mitigations are specified.

Description

CVE-2026-119141 is a denial of service vulnerability in Wasmtime versions 46.0.0 before 48.0.6 and 49.0.0 before 49.0.3. The flaw arises because the may_leave flag is not cleared during realloc, allowing malicious WebAssembly modules to cause the host to panic by invoking non-reentrant code via nested calls. This can crash the host by triggering reentrant calls during memory reallocation operations.
