Let’s see how upstream triages the issue, https://github.com/mackron/dr_libs/issues/298. There is a suggested fix, which is nice, but there’s no need to get in a huge rush to patch what is at worst a potential denial of service.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 45 development cycle.
Changing version to 45.
