Hello, all, TL;DR: We recommend applying the patches from [2] and [3] over 2.44.3, and the issues are expected to be solved in the upcoming 2.44.4 releases.

The issue [1] is not new but it started showing up in stable releases in 2.44.3 -- a workaround is available [2], which may or not be merged as-is, but I would recommend that packagers apply it before the fix is available in the next stable release. * Sites using WebAssembly can easily hit a crash related to code generation. This was caused by a patch backport. For the moment we have decided to revert it in the release branch [3], and packagers may want to do the same. I am investigating in case may be possible to re-apply the patch without introducing regressions in the next stable release, but I am not sure at the moment.
