{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2026-27572","details":"Wasmtime is a runtime for WebAssembly. Prior to versions 24.0.6, 36.0.6, 4.0.04, 41.0.4, and 42.0.0, Wasmtime's implementation of the `wasi:http/types.fields` resource is susceptible to panics when too many fields are added to the set of headers. Wasmtime's implementation in the `wasmtime-wasi-http` crate is backed by a data structure which panics when it reaches excessive capacity and this condition was not handled gracefully in Wasmtime. Panicking in a WASI implementation is a Denial of Service vector for embedders and is treated as a security vulnerability in Wasmtime. Wasmtime 24.0.6, 36.0.6, 40.0.4, 41.0.4, and 42.0.0 patch this vulnerability and return a trap to the guest instead of panicking. There are no known workarounds at this time. Embedders are encouraged to update to a patched version of Wasmtime.","modified":"2026-09-14T17:02:53.813710047Z","published":"2026-02-24T22:16:32.687Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-27572"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2026-27572"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"rust-wasmtime","ecosystem":"Debian:13","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/rust-wasmtime?arch=source&distro=trixie"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["26.0.1+dfsg-10","26.0.1+dfsg-3","26.0.1+dfsg-4","26.0.1+dfsg-5","26.0.1+dfsg-6","26.0.1+dfsg-7","26.0.1+dfsg-8","26.0.1+dfsg-9","27.0.0+dfsg-2","27.0.0+dfsg-3","27.0.0+dfsg-4","28.0.1+dfsg-1","28.0.1+dfsg-2","28.0.1+dfsg-3","29.0.1+dfsg-1","29.0.1+dfsg-2","29.0.1+dfsg-3","29.0.1+dfsg-4","29.0.1+dfsg-5","29.0.1+dfsg-6","29.0.1+dfsg-7","29.0.1+dfsg-8","36.0.11+dfsg-1","36.0.12+dfsg-1","36.0.12+dfsg-2","36.0.12+dfsg-3","36.0.13+dfsg-1","36.0.5+dfsg-1","36.0.5+dfsg-2","36.0.5+dfsg-3","36.0.5+dfsg-4","36.0.5+dfsg-5","36.0.6+dfsg-1","36.0.6+dfsg-2","36.0.6+dfsg-3","36.0.6+dfsg-4","36.0.6+dfsg-5","36.0.6+dfsg-6","36.0.6+dfsg-7","36.0.7+dfsg-1","36.0.8+dfsg-1","36.0.9+dfsg-1","36.0.9+dfsg-2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-27572.json"}},{"package":{"name":"rust-wasmtime","ecosystem":"Debian:14","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/rust-wasmtime?arch=source&distro=forky"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"36.0.6+dfsg-1"}]}],"versions":["26.0.1+dfsg-10","26.0.1+dfsg-3","26.0.1+dfsg-4","26.0.1+dfsg-5","26.0.1+dfsg-6","26.0.1+dfsg-7","26.0.1+dfsg-8","26.0.1+dfsg-9","27.0.0+dfsg-2","27.0.0+dfsg-3","27.0.0+dfsg-4","28.0.1+dfsg-1","28.0.1+dfsg-2","28.0.1+dfsg-3","29.0.1+dfsg-1","29.0.1+dfsg-2","29.0.1+dfsg-3","29.0.1+dfsg-4","29.0.1+dfsg-5","29.0.1+dfsg-6","29.0.1+dfsg-7","29.0.1+dfsg-8","36.0.5+dfsg-1","36.0.5+dfsg-2","36.0.5+dfsg-3","36.0.5+dfsg-4","36.0.5+dfsg-5"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-27572.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"}]}
