CVE-2025-34297 is a security vulnerability in the KissFFT library, a compact FFT library used in audio tools, signal processing, and embedded firmware. The flaw is an integer overflow in the kiss_fft_alloc function that leads to a heap buffer overflow on 32-bit systems. This can cause crashes or memory corruption. The fix, a commit that adds overflow checking, was released by the KissFFT maintainers. Users of KissFFT on 32-bit platforms should update to a patched version to mitigate the risk.
