CVE-2026-119141
Wasmtime 46.0.0 before 48.0.6 and 49.0.0 before 49.0.3 Host Panic via realloc
Description

Wasmtime 46.0.0 before 48.0.6 and 49.0.0 before 49.0.3 contains a denial of service vulnerability that allows malicious Wasm modules to panic the host because the may_leave flag is not cleared during realloc. Attackers can call into the host from realloc while lowering stream or future results, such as cancelling the active read or re-waiting a waitable-set, crashing the host.
