CVE-2026-115388
CVE-2026-115388 · Wasmtime before 36.0.16, 37.0.0 before 48.0.3, and 49.0.0 before 49.0.1 Memory Exhaustion DoS via wasmtime-wasi-http Outgoing Body Write
This page contains facts from public vulnerability sources. Check the original advisory before updating.
wasmtime-wasi-http in Wasmtime before 36.0.16, 37.0.0 before 48.0.3, and 49.0.0 before 49.0.1 does not enforce the wasi:io/streams check-write allowance for WASIp2 outgoing HTTP bodies, so oversized writes succeed instead of trapping. A malicious guest can pass large buffers to write on outgoing-body resources, holding host allocations for the store's lifetime and exhausting host memory.
