NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream wavpack package and not the wavpack package as distributed by Alpine. See How to fix? for Alpine:3.21 relevant fixed versions and status.

WavPack 5.3.0 has an out-of-bounds write in WavpackPackSamples in pack_utils.c because of an integer overflow in a malloc argument. NOTE: some third-parties claim that there are later "unofficial" releases through 5.3.2, which are also affected.
