How to fix?

Upgrade Echo:latest alsa-lib to version 1.0.9-1 or higher.

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 Echo. See How to fix? for Echo:latest relevant fixed versions and status.

The alsa-lib package in Red Hat Linux 4 disables stack protection for the libasound.so library, which makes it easier for attackers to execute arbitrary code if there are other vulnerabilities in the library.
