wasmtime_jit_debug Dumps Undefined Memory by `JitDumpFile`

Published Jun 17, 2025 · Updated Oct 28, 2025 · Assigned by GHSA

Description

The unsound function `dump_code_load_record` uses `from_raw_parts` to directly convert the pointer `addr` and `len` into a slice without any validation and that memory block would be dumped.

Thus, the 'safe' function dump_code_load_record is actually 'unsafe' since it requires the caller to guarantee that the addr is valid and len must not overflow. Otherwise, the function could dump the memory into file illegally, causing memory leak.
