Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Uncaught Exception in the f64x2.splat instruction compilation on x86-64 platforms with SSE3 disabled. An attacker can cause a segmentation fault and terminate the process by triggering an out-of-bounds read during WebAssembly compilation. This is only exploitable if signals-based traps are disabled.
