{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2026-34987","details":"Wasmtime is a runtime for WebAssembly. From 25.0.0 to before 36.0.7, 42.0.2, and 43.0.1, Wasmtime with its Winch (baseline) non-default compiler backend may allow properly constructed guest Wasm to access host memory outside of its linear-memory sandbox. This vulnerability requires use of the Winch compiler (-Ccompiler=winch). By default, Wasmtime uses its Cranelift backend, not Winch. With Winch, the same incorrect assumption is present in theory on both aarch64 and x86-64. The aarch64 case has an observed-working proof of concept, while the x86-64 case is theoretical and may not be reachable in practice. This Winch compiler bug can allow the Wasm guest to access memory before or after the linear-memory region, independently of whether pre- or post-guard regions are configured. The accessible range in the initial bug proof-of-concept is up to 32KiB before the start of memory, or ~4GiB after the start of memory, independently of the size of pre- or post-guard regions or the use of explicit or guard-region-based bounds checking. However, the underlying bug assumes a 32-bit memory offset stored in a 64-bit register has its upper bits cleared when it may not, and so closely related variants of the initial proof-of-concept may be able to access truly arbitrary memory in-process. This could result in a host process segmentation fault (DoS), an arbitrary data leak from the host process, or with a write, potentially an arbitrary RCE. This vulnerability is fixed in 36.0.7, 42.0.2, and 43.0.1.","modified":"2026-09-14T17:03:08.817026166Z","published":"2026-04-09T19:16:25Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-34987"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2026-34987"}],"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-2026-34987.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":"36.0.7+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","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"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-34987.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H"}]}
