CyberRota Analysis

AI-Generated

alsa-lib versions up to 1.2.16.1 are vulnerable to a stack buffer overflow in the __snd_ctl_ascii_elem_id_parse() function, which can be exploited by attackers providing overly long control-element identifier strings. This vulnerability allows for adjacent stack memory to be overwritten, potentially leading to process crashes. Organizations using affected versions of alsa-lib should prioritize patching to mitigate the risk of denial-of-service attacks.

Original NVD Description

alsa-lib through 1.2.16.1 contains a stack buffer overflow in the __snd_ctl_ascii_elem_id_parse() function that writes one byte past a 64-byte buffer when parsing a name= field with 64 or more characters. Attackers can supply a long control-element identifier string through saved state files or command-line arguments to overwrite adjacent stack memory and crash the calling process.
