How to fix?

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.

The ParseCaffHeaderConfig function of the cli/caff.c file of WavPack 5.1.0 allows a remote attacker to cause a denial-of-service (global buffer over-read), or possibly trigger a buffer overflow or incorrect memory allocation, via a maliciously crafted CAF file.
