alexcrichton opened PR #3238 from fix-uaf to main:

In #3231 the wasm data sections were moved from the
wasmtime_environ::Module structure into the CompilationArtifacts.
Each wasmtime_runtime::Instance holds raw pointers into the data
section owned by the compilation artifacts under the assumption that the
runtime keeps the artifacts alive while the module is in use. Data is
needed beyond original initialization for memory.init instructions as
well as lazy-initialization with the uffd feature.

The intention of #3231 was that all CompiledModule structures, which
own CompilationArtifacts were owned by a store's ModuleRegistry, so
this was already taken care of. It turns out, however, that empty
modules which contain no functions are not held within a
ModuleRegistry since there was no need prior to retain them. This
commit remedies this mistake by retaining the CompiledModule
structure, even if there aren't any functions compiled in.

This should unblock #3235 and fixes the spurious error found there. The
test here, at least on Linux, will deterministically reproduce the error
before this commit since uffd was initializing wasm memory with free'd
host memory.
