critical Nessus Plugin ID 153982

Language:

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing a security-related update.

Description

The Go project reports :

When invoking functions from WASM modules, built using GOARCH=wasm GOOS=js, passing very large arguments can cause portions of the module to be overwritten with data from the arguments.

If using wasm_exec.js to execute WASM modules, users will need to replace their copy after rebuilding any modules.

Solution

Update the affected package.
