CVE-2026-34944: Wasmtime segfault or unused out-of-sandbox load with `f64x2.splat` operator on x86-64

April 9, 2026 (updated April 24, 2026)

On x86-64 platforms with SSE3 disabled Wasmtime’s compilation of the f64x2.splat WebAssembly instruction with Cranelift may load 8 more bytes than is necessary. When signals-based-traps are disabled this can result in a uncaught segfault due to loading from unmapped guard pages. With guard pages disabled it’s possible for out-of-sandbox data to be loaded, but this data is not visible to WebAssembly guests.
