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.","cvss_v4":{"vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","score":7.0},"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:H","score":6.8},"cwes":["CWE-415"],"references":["https://github.com/alsa-project/alsa-lib/commit/536dd6f8affdf5197c12a63a71c92a70b2833cc0","https://github.com/alsa-project/alsa-lib/releases/tag/v1.2.16.1","https://lore.kernel.org/alsa-devel/CAGt8pqBU0p2voB+qHxWGcNJrKHAcBhAyHUUBPLBN-Yj_SiV6MQ@mail.gmail.com/","https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/alsa-library-double-free-via-parse-def-in-conf-c"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-25T23:44:33.281319194+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-56109","score":0.00138,"percentile":0.03173,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
