Description
The vulnerability allows a remote user to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to improper handling of invalid flag bits in wasmtime::component::Val when lifting a flags-typed component model value. A remote privileged user can provide a flags value with bits set outside the defined set to cause a denial of service.
This only affects flags-typed values that are part of a WIT interface, and does not affect lifting performed with the flags! macro. User interaction is required.
