The allegro5 Fedora Linux package contains the Allegro game programming library: https://github.com/liballeg/allegro5 Whereas the CVE is about a bug in the "Ralph" library, maintained by Allegro, a Polish tech company: https://github.com/allegro/ralph/issues/3950 Apart from the name clash, there is nothing linking the two projects. Closing as NOTABUG.
