GHSA-vmg2-r3xv-r3xf Simulation of Wasmd message can cause crashing

• Go github.com/CosmWasm/wasmd: < 0.53.2 → fixed in 0.53.2

CWA-2024-009 Severity Low (Marginal + Likely)[^1] Affected versions: • wasmd query wasm libwasmvm-version`. It must show 2.1.4. The patch is not consensus breaking _if you are already using wasmvm 2.1.3_. If you are instead using wasmvm 2.1.2, then upgrading to 2.1.4 includes the consensus breaking changes of 2.1.3. DIY Patch If you are unable to upgrade to the latest version, you can backport the wasmd patch to your version. The patch is available at Wasmd 0.53.2. However, if you are on an older version of wasmd, you will also be using a different version of wasmvm. We provide the required patches for wasmvm in versions 2.1.4, 2.0.5, 1.5.6. To upgrade using this method: 1. Check the current wasmvm version: `go list -m github.com/CosmWasm/wasmvm` and upgrade to the closest patched version. 2. Bump the github.com/CosmWasm/wasmvm dependency in your go.mod to the closest compatible patched version (either 2.1.4, 2.0.5 or 1.5.6); go mod tidy; commit. 3. Apply the patch linked above to your version of wasmd. 4. If you use the static libraries `libwasmvm_muslc.aarch64.a`/`libwasmvm_muslc.x86_64.a`, make sure that you use the same version as your wasmvm version. 5. Follow your regular practices to deploy chain upgrades. To double check if the correct library version is loaded at runtime, use this query: ` query wasm libwasmvm-version`. It must show 2.1.4, 2.0.5 or 1.5.6 and must be the same as the wasmvm version in your go.sum. The patch is not consensus breaking as long as you were using the previous patch version of wasmvm before.
