CVE-2026-71261
Description
A flaw was found in dr_libs. An integer overflow vulnerability exists in the W64 CUE chunk metadata parsing within the dr_wav.h component. A remote attacker could exploit this by providing a specially crafted W64 WAV file. This could lead to a heap buffer overflow, potentially allowing for arbitrary code execution on 32-bit applications processing untrusted WAV metadata.

Understanding the Weakness (CWE)
Integrity,Availability,Confidentiality
Technical Impact: DoS: Crash, Exit, or Restart; Execute Unauthorized Code or Commands; Read Memory; Modify Memory
If the incorrect calculation is used in the context of memory allocation, then the software may create a buffer that is smaller or larger than expected. If the allocated buffer is smaller than expected, this could lead to an out-of-bounds read or write (CWE-119), possibly causing a crash, allowing arbitrary code execution, or exposing sensitive data.
