Description Cedric Buissart 2026-07-23 19:10:47 UTC
Disclaimer: Community trackers are created by Red Hat Product Security team on a best effort basis. Package maintainers are required to ascertain if the flaw indeed affects their package, before starting the update process.

libheif is a HEIF and AVIF file format decoder and encoder. In versions 1.19.0 through 1.21.2, a crafted HEIF file (uncompressed `unci` codec, tiled, component-interleaved, 4:2:0) triggers a heap out-of-bounds write in libheif's uncompressed tile decoder. The write overwrites the C++ vtable pointer of an adjacent `unc_decoder_component_interleave` object; the next virtual call dispatches to an attacker-chosen address. Version 1.22.0 patches the issue.

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

Comment 2 Michel Lind 2026-08-25 22:59:04 UTC
This bug is already fixed in a published Bodhi update: libheif-1.23.1-9.fc45
