"The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1780592196 advisory.

  - 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 has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
