Debian Linux Security Advisory 5796-1 - Multiple security issues were found in libheif, a library to parse HEIF and AVIF files, which could result in denial of service or potentially the execution of arbitrary code.
libheif v1.17.5 was discovered to contain a segmentation violation via the function UncompressedImageCodec::decode_uncompressed_image.
libheif v1.17.5 was discovered to contain a segmentation violation via the component /libheif/exif.cc.
libheif v1.17.5 was discovered to contain a segmentation violation via the function find_exif_tag at /libheif/exif.cc.
libheif v1.17.5 was discovered to contain a segmentation violation via the function UncompressedImageCodec::get_luma_bits_per_pixel_from_configuration_unci.
A Segmentation fault caused by a floating point exception exists in libheif 1.15.1 using crafted heif images via the heif::Fraction::round() function in box.cc, which causes a denial of service.
There is a vulnerability in the strided image data parsing code in the emscripten wrapper for libheif. An attacker could exploit this through a crafted image file to cause a buffer overflow in linear memory during a memcpy call.
