Let me supply the details that are missing here. The CVE report is here: https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-29022 The bug is in dr_wav, and is fixed in 0.14.5 via https://github.com/mackron/dr_libs/commit/8a7258cc66b49387ad58cc5b81568982a3560d49. Unfortunately, the bundled dr_wav here is 0.13.11, and there are significant API changes in all three dr_* libs from dr_flac 0.12.x to 0.13.x, dr_mp3 0.6.x to 0.7.x, and dr_wav 0.13.x. If I remember correctly, this is why dosbox-staging is bundling dr_libs rather than using the system package. I found that the fix for this particular issue was easy enough to cherry-pick to dr_wav 0.13.17, at least; see https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/dr_libs/c/0ee60144d4480605bb152bd6094680630775b98a?branch=f42. I just had to omit the version number and changelog parts of the diff. So you could, if you like, try using that as a downstream patch for your bundled dr_wav header. This is not the only potentially security-relevant issue fixed since dr_flac 0.12.x / dr_mp3 0.6.x / dr_wav 0.13.x. It is just the only one that has been assigned a CVE, as far as I know. In the long run, dosbox-staging upstream ought to be encouraged to upgrade their vendored dr_libs headers and fix any API incompatibilities with the latest versions.
