CVE-2026-27195

Описание

Wasmtime is a runtime for WebAssembly. Starting with Wasmtime 39.0.0, the component-model-async feature became the default, which brought with it a new implementation of [Typed]Func::call_async which made it capable of calling async-typed guest export functions. However, that implementation had a bug leading to a panic under certain circumstances: First, the host embedding calls [Typed]Func::call_async on a function exported by a component, polling the returned Future once. Second, the component function yields control to the async runtime (e.g. Tokio), e.g. due to a call to host function registered using LinkerInstance::func_wrap_async which yields, or due an epoch interruption. Third, the host embedding drops the Future after polling it once. This leaves the component instance in a non-reenterable state since the call never had a chance to complete. Fourth, the host embedding calls [Typed]Func::call_async again, polling the returned Future. Since the component instance cannot be entered at this point, the call traps, but not before allocating a task and thread for the call. Fifth, the host embedding ignores the trap and drops the Future. This panics due to the runtime attempting to dispose of the task created above, which panics since the thread has not yet exited. When a host embedder using the affected versions of Wasmtime calls wasmtime::component::[Typed]Func::call_async on a guest export and then drops the returned future without waiting for it to resolve, and then does so again with the same component instance, Wasmtime will panic. Embeddings that have the component-model-async compile-time feature disabled are unaffected. Wasmtime 40.0.4 and 41.0.4 have been patched to fix this issue. Versions 42.0.0 and later are not affected. If an embedding is not actually using any component-model-async features then disabling the component-model-async Cargo feature can work around this issue. This issue can also be worked around by either ensuring every call_async future is awaited until it completes or refraining from using the Store again after dropping a not-yet-resolved call_async future.

A flaw was found in Wasmtime. When a host embedding repeatedly calls an asynchronous function ([Typed]Func::call_async) exported by a WebAssembly (Wasm) component and drops the returned future before it completes, Wasmtime will encounter a panic. This issue can lead to a denial of service (DoS), making the Wasmtime runtime unavailable.
