CVE-2024-38358 – Symlink bypasses filesystem sandbox in wasmer

https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2024-38358

19 Jun 2024 — Wasmer is a web assembly (wasm) Runtime supporting WASIX, WASI and Emscripten. If the preopened directory has a symlink pointing outside, WASI programs can traverse the symlink and access host filesystem if the caller sets both `oflags::creat` and `rights::fd_write`. Programs can also crash the runtime by creating a symlink pointing outside with `path_symlink` and `path_open`ing the link. This issue has been addressed in commit `b9483d022` which has been included in release version 4.3.2. Users are advised ... • https://github.com/wasmerio/wasmer/commit/b9483d022c602b994103f78ecfe46f017f8ac662 • CWE-22: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') •
