Description

This is an entry in the RustSec database for the Wasmtime security advisory located at https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/security/advisories/GHSA-qw58-7h65-crq2 For more information see the GitHub-hosted security advisory.

Affected versions

crates.io

Package	Vulnerable	Fixed in
wasmtime	`>= 47.0.0, < 48.0.8` `>= 49.0.0, < 49.0.5` `>= 50.0.0, < 50.0.1`	`48.0.8` `49.0.5` `50.0.1`

How to fix

Move to the fixed version or later with your package manager, update the lockfile, and run your tests. If the package only arrives through another dependency, upgrade that dependency first. If none of its releases pulls a fixed version yet, force the version with your package manager's override.

wasmtime crates.io → `50.0.1`

cargo

cargo update -p wasmtime --precise 50.0.1
