Fedora 44 KISS FFT Security Fix 2025

Linuxsecurity •LinuxSecurity Advisories • March 19, 2026

KISS FFT - A mixed-radix Fast Fourier Transform based on the principle, "Keep It Simple, Stupid." There are many great fft libraries already around. Kiss FFT is not trying to be better than any of them. It only attempts to be a reasonably efficient, moderately useful FFT that can use fixed or floating data types and can be incorporated into someone's C program in a few minutes with trivial licensing. Update Information : Update to 131.2.0
