CVE-2026-47307: Samsung Walrus NULL pointer dereference in WebAssembly engine

CVE-2026-47307 · Severity: medium · CVSS 5.5 · Published 2026-05-19

Samsung Walrus, an open-source WebAssembly engine, is vulnerable to a flaw that can cause the application to crash. By providing a specially crafted WebAssembly module with deeply nested instructions, an attacker can trigger a system failure. This results in a denial of service, potentially disrupting operations or services that rely on this engine to execute code.

Technologies: Samsung Walrus. Vendors: Samsung.

Technical details

A NULL pointer dereference (CWE-476) exists in the Samsung Walrus WebAssembly engine. The vulnerability is triggered during the parsing or execution of a crafted WebAssembly module that contains deeply nested instructions, which likely exhausts resources or fails to handle recursion depth correctly, resulting in a NULL pointer access. An attacker can achieve a denial of service (DoS) by convincing a user or system to process the malicious module. The issue was addressed in pull request #409, which improved error handling and resource limits.
