FreeBSD : libwasmtime -- host panic with fd_renumber WASIp1 function (605a9d1e-6521-11f0-beb2-ac5afc632ba3)

low Nessus Plugin ID 242413

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the 605a9d1e-6521-11f0-beb2-ac5afc632ba3 advisory.

 WasmTime development team reports:
 A bug in Wasmtime's implementation of the WASIp1 set of import functions can lead to a WebAssembly guest inducing a panic in the host (embedder).

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the FreeBSD security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
