Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for alsa-lib.

CVE-2026-90781[0]:
| 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.


If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
