"It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2026-1919 advisory.

    A critical heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in libheif v1.21.2 (and likely earlier
    versions) within the handling of uncompressed HEIF images (ISO/IEC 23001-17, unci item type). When
    processing a tiled image with chroma subsampling (e.g., 4:2:0 or 4:2:2), the library fails to scale
    spatial offsets for the chroma planes. This leads to out-of-bounds memory writes when decoding any tile
    other than the top-left one, potentially resulting in remote code execution (RCE). (from https://project-
    zero.issues.chromium.org/issues/507396184) (CVE-2026-47178)

    libheif is a HEIF and AVIF file format decoder and encoder. Prior to version 1.22.1, the uncompressed HEIF
    decoder validates explicit icef compressed-unit offsets using unit_offset + unit_size. Because the
    addition can wrap, a crafted HEIF file can pass the range check and then construct a vector from iterators
    outside the compressed item buffer, producing an out-of-bounds heap read and crash. Version 1.22.1 patches
    the issue. (CVE-2026-49271)

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

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