Summary

Wasmtime before 36.0.18, from 37.0.0 before 48.0.6, and from 49.0.0 before 49.0.3 caps component-model resource handle tables only per component instance. Handle allocations are not charged to any ResourceLimiter or StoreLimits, so a malicious guest can repeatedly call resource.new and instantiate sub-components to exceed the cap many times over (CWE-770). This causes unbounded host memory growth.

Description from the CNA

Wasmtime before 36.0.18, 37.0.0 before 48.0.6, and 49.0.0 before 49.0.3 caps component-model resource handle tables only per component instance and does not charge handle allocations to any ResourceLimiter or StoreLimits. A malicious guest can repeatedly call resource.new and instantiate sub-components to exceed the per-instance cap many times over, causing unbounded host memory growth.
