CVE-2026-96674

A flaw was found in alsa-lib. This vulnerability involves an integer overflow in the src/topology/ctl.c component, where combined topology element sizes are computed using 32-bit arithmetic. This allows an attacker to supply specially crafted topology files that can cause size calculations to wrap around, bypassing bounds checks. Successful exploitation could lead to reading beyond the intended buffer, potentially resulting in sensitive data leakage or application crashes, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS).
