Summary

Wasmtime from 46.0.0 before 48.0.6 and from 49.0.0 before 49.0.3 contains a denial of service flaw (CWE-617) in which pending calls trigger an assertion failure after a trap poisons the Store. An attacker who supplies misbehaving guest code can cause a trap and let earlier calls proceed. This crashes embedders that continue using the inconsistent Store.
