Echo: alsa-lib: security update to 1.2.14-1+e4

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 472747

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - alsa-lib through 1.2.16.1 computes combined topology element size using 32-bit arithmetic in
 src/topology/ctl.c, allowing integer overflow that defeats bounds checks. Attackers can supply crafted
 topology files that wrap size calculations, causing the decoder to read beyond the topology buffer and
 potentially leak sensitive data or crash the application. (CVE-2026-96674)
