"It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2026-1974 advisory.

    decoder_context::decode_slice_unit_tiles (libde265/decctx.cc:920) reads pps.CtbAddrRStoTS[ctbAddrRS] at
    line 966 where ctbAddrRS = ctbY * ctbsWidth + ctbX is computed from PPS-supplied colBd[]/rowBd[] arrays
    without validating the result against CtbAddrRStoTS.size() == sps->PicSizeInCtbsY. A malformed PPS that
    passes set_derived_values but encodes geometry inconsistent with the SPS produces a ctbAddrRS past the
    allocation, causing a 4-byte heap-buffer-overflow READ. (CVE-2026-45382)

    A heap buffer overflow (out-of-bounds READ) exists in decoder_context::decode_slice_unit_WPP() in
    libde265/decctx.cc. When decoding a WPP (Wavefront Parallel Processing) HEVC slice, ctbAddrRS is computed
    as ctbRow * ctbsWidth inside the entry-point loop. If the PPS/SPS headers are crafted so that this value
    exceeds pps.CtbAddrRStoTS.size(), the subsequent array access pps.CtbAddrRStoTS[ctbAddrRS] reads past the
    end of the allocated vector, triggering a heap-buffer-overflow confirmed by AddressSanitizer.
    (CVE-2026-45383)

    Pixel accessor signed integer overflow causes heap OOB read/write (CVE-2026-54240)

    SAO sequential filter heap buffer overflow via signed integer overflow (CVE-2026-54241)

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