NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libatopology2 package and not the libatopology2 package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:16.0.0 relevant fixed versions and status.

The Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) library before 1.2.16.1 contains a double-free vulnerability in parse_def() in src/conf.c that allows attackers to corrupt memory by supplying maliciously crafted ALSA configuration text. When parsing nested compound or array configuration blocks, parse_def() fails to check return values before continuing, causing snd_config_delete() to be called twice on the same already-freed node, resulting in a NULL-pointer write or invalid memory read.
