Wasmtime 46.0.0 before 48.0.4 and 49.0.0 before 49.0.2 Host Panic via WASIp3 Timestamps
Impact
Wasmtime versions 46.0.0 before 48.0.4 and 49.0.0 before 49.0.2 contain a denial of service vulnerability. Guests with mutable preopened directory access can crash the host process by calling set-times or set-times-at with negative seconds timestamps. This triggers an assertion failure.

Original source description
Wasmtime 46.0.0 before 48.0.4 and 49.0.0 before 49.0.2 contains a denial of service vulnerability in the wasmtime-wasi WASIp3 implementation that allows guests to abort the Unix host process. Guests with mutable preopened directory access can call set-times or set-times-at with negative seconds timestamps before the epoch, triggering an assertion failure that crashes the host.
