Description
Integer overflow in the source-bounds check in Memory::init() (src/runtime/Memory.cpp) in Samsung walrus on all platforms allows a remote attacker to cause an out-of-bounds heap read and denial of service via a crafted WebAssembly module in which a 32-bit unsigned addition wraps around and bypasses the bounds check.

Impact

An integer overflow occurs in the source‑bounds check within the Memory::init() function of Samsung Walrus. A crafted WebAssembly module that performs a 32‑bit unsigned addition that overflows causes the bounds check to be bypassed, permitting an out‑of‑bounds heap read. The flaw can be triggered remotely by submitting such a module and results in a denial‑of‑service that disrupts the Walrus runtime. This is a classic integer‑overflow weakness (CWE‑190) that jeopardizes availability.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability exists in Samsung Walrus on all platforms and is present in the code base at commit ff3bf5ff5c4878f8e5572c9593d303f6bc997443. No specific version number is given, so any deployment of Walrus that has not incorporated the patch for this commit is potentially affected.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.2 indicates a moderate severity level. The EPSS score is not available, and the issue is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, so active exploitation is not known. The flaw is exploitable remotely: an attacker only needs the ability to load a malicious WebAssembly module into Walrus. Once such a module is executed, the integer overflow results in an out‑of‑bounds memory read that can terminate the application. The attack requires some skill to craft the offending module, but no privileged access or additional platform‑specific conditions are required.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update Walrus to the latest release that incorporates the patch introduced in commit ff3bf5ff5c4878f8e5572c9593d303f6bc997443.
  • If an immediate update is not possible, restrict Walrus to processing only trusted WebAssembly modules and block or quarantine untrusted modules until the patch is applied.
  • Review the Memory::init() implementation to enforce proper bounds checks and add defensive programming checks against integer overflows (CWE‑190) or employ static analysis tools that detect such vulnerabilities.
