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. Prior to 1.23.2, when WITH_UNCOMPRESSED_CODEC is enabled, heif_context_add_image_tile() accepts an independently constructed tile whose component-plane dimensions do not match the tile geometry established by the prototype image. ImageItem_uncompressed::add_image_tile() passes that tile directly to unc_encoder::encode_tile(), which lacked the check_component_sizes() gate and sizes its output from the configured tile geometry while copying the tile's actual component-plane dimensions. An oversized component plane can therefore make unc_encoder_component_interleave::encode_tile() copy attacker-controlled data beyond the heap output buffer. This issue is fixed in version 1.23.2.
This bug is already fixed in a published Bodhi update.
