"It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2023-2026-1363 advisory.

    libheif is an HEIF and AVIF file format decoder and encoder. Prior to version 1.21.0, a crafted HEIF that
    exercises the overlay image item path triggers a heap buffer over-read in `HeifPixelImage::overlay()`. The
    function computes a negative row length (likely from an unclipped overlay rectangle or invalid offsets),
    which then underflows when converted to `size_t` and is passed to `memcpy`, causing a very large read past
    the end of the source plane and a crash. Version 1.21.0 contains a patch. As a workaround, avoid decoding
    images using `iovl` overlay boxes. (CVE-2025-68431)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
