Process crash via invalid select-operation memory read
Published Nov 8, 2024 · Updated Nov 18, 2024
Out-of-bounds read in Wasm3 commit 139076a allows attackers to crash the runtime by executing a crafted WebAssembly file. The op_Select_i32_ssr interpreter operation dereferences an invalid address while handling attacker-controlled select bytecode. Reachability requires a process or embedding application to load the file; public evidence demonstrates a local process crash, while code execution remains unverified.
