Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Wasmtime, when built with the Cranelift backend on aarch64, is affected in versions before 36.0.19, from 37.0.0 before 48.0.7, and from 49.0.0 before 49.0.4. A Wasm module containing a single br_table instruction with more than about 256k targets can be compiled into an incorrect branch target, so a malicious module can redirect execution to other code and escape the sandbox. Users should upgrade to 36.0.19, 48.0.7, or 49.0.4, depending on their release line.
