{"id":"CVE-2022-39394","aliases":["GHSA-h84q-m8rr-3v9q","RUSTSEC-2022-0097"],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2022-39394","summary":"wasmtime_trap_code C API function has out of bounds write vulnerability","details":"### Impact\n\nThere is a bug in Wasmtime's C API implementation where the definition of the `wasmtime_trap_code` does not match its declared signature in the `wasmtime/trap.h` header file. This discrepancy causes the function implementation to perform a 4-byte write into a 1-byte buffer provided by the caller. This can lead to three zero bytes being written beyond the 1-byte location provided by the caller.\n\n### Patches\n\nThis bug has been patched and users should upgrade to Wasmtime 2.0.2.\n\n### Workarounds\n\nThis can be worked around by providing a 4-byte buffer casted to a 1-byte buffer when calling `wasmtime_trap_code`. Users of the `wasmtime` crate are not affected by this issue, only users of the C API function `wasmtime_trap_code` are affected.\n\n### References\n\n* [Definition of `wasmtime_trap_code`](https://docs.wasmtime.dev/c-api/trap_8h.html#a6580f4f209d3eaebb6e8b9a901a30b7a)\n* [Mailing list announcement](https://groups.google.com/a/bytecodealliance.org/g/sec-announce/c/c1HBDDJwNPA)\n* [Patch to fix for `main` branch](https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/commit/5b6d5e78de106503b3b9add218bb3d2b1d63c493)\n\n### For more information\n\nIf you have any questions or comments about this advisory:\n\n* Reach out to us on [the Bytecode Alliance Zulip chat](https://bytecodealliance.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/217126-wasmtime)\n* Open an issue in [the bytecodealliance/wasmtime repository](https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/)","published":"2022-11-10T00:00:00Z","modified":"2026-08-12T03:51:10.487915368Z","cvss":{"score":3.8,"severity":"LOW","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L"},"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"crates.io","name":"wasmtime","fixedVersion":"2.0.2"},{"ecosystem":"crates.io","name":"wasmtime","fixedVersion":"1.0.2"}],"fix":{"url":"https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/commit/087d9d7becf7422b3f872a3bcd5d97bb7ce7ff36","label":"bytecodealliance/wasmtime@087d9d7"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2022/39xxx/CVE-2022-39394.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/security/advisories/GHSA-h84q-m8rr-3v9q"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-39394"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/commit/087d9d7becf7422b3f872a3bcd5d97bb7ce7ff36"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/commit/5b6d5e78de106503b3b9add218bb3d2b1d63c493"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://groups.google.com/a/bytecodealliance.org/g/sec-announce/c/c1HBDDJwNPA"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://rustsec.org/advisories/RUSTSEC-2022-0097.html"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-12T03:51:10.487915368Z"}}
