There is no fixed version for Centos:10 alsa-lib.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream alsa-lib package and not the alsa-lib package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

alsa-lib through 1.2.16.1 computes combined topology element size using 32-bit arithmetic in src/topology/ctl.c, allowing integer overflow that defeats bounds checks. Attackers can supply crafted topology files that wrap size calculations, causing the decoder to read beyond the topology buffer and potentially leak sensitive data or crash the application.
