An issue was discovered in libsndfile 1.2.2 IMA ADPCM codec. The AIFF code path (line 241) was fixed with (sf_count_t) cast, but the WAV code path (line 235) and close path (line 167) were not. When samplesperblock (int) * blocks (int) exceeds INT_MAX, the 32-bit multiplication overflows before being assigned to sf.frames (sf_count_t/int64). With samplesperblock=50000 and blocks=50000, the product 2500000000 overflows to -1794967296. This causes incorrect frame count leading to heap buffer overflow or denial of service. Both values come from the WAV file header and are attacker-controlled. This issue was discovered after an incomplete fix for CVE-2022-33065.

    Package updates are available for Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2026-37555:
    A flaw was found in the libsndfile library. An integer overflow in the IMA ADPCM codec can occur when a     specially crafted WAV audio file is processed, specifically with malicious samplesperblock and blocks     values. This can lead to a heap-based buffer overflow, causing a crash to the application linked to the     library and memory corruption.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - An issue was discovered in libsndfile 1.2.2 IMA ADPCM codec. The AIFF code path (line 241) was fixed with     (sf_count_t) cast, but the WAV code path (line 235) and close path (line 167) were not. When     samplesperblock (int) * blocks (int) exceeds INT_MAX, the 32-bit multiplication overflows before being     assigned to sf.frames (sf_count_t/int64). With samplesperblock=50000 and blocks=50000, the product     2500000000 overflows to -1794967296. This causes incorrect frame count leading to heap buffer overflow or     denial of service. Both values come from the WAV file header and are attacker-controlled. This issue was     discovered after an incomplete fix for CVE-2022-33065. (CVE-2026-37555)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
