Depends on the definition of "security problem", WASM only protects from a 
small (but important) subset.

In general, WASM gives you about the same security guarantees as 
Javascript, it runs your code inside a sandbox that protects the "outside" 
of the sandbox from what's happening inside.

You'll still be able to create and enjoy the whole range of memory 
corruption problems and crashes C/C++ has to offer, but those are 
contained  *inside* the sandbox, they cannot be used to "escape" and cause 
harm outside the sandbox (unless the sandbox implementation has bugs, or 
nasty hardware surprises show up, like Rowhammer/Spectre/Meltdown).

What WASM can't protect from is "non-technical" security issues like 
stealing passwords or other secrets through fishing / social engineering of 
course.

Cheers,
