    Debian Bug     :

    Multiple security issues were discovered in libheif, an ISO/IEC 23008-12
    HEIF and AVIF image file format decoder and encoder, which may result in
    denial of service, the disclosure of sensitive memory contents or,
    potentially, the execution of arbitrary code if a malformed image file is
    processed.

    Note that in the fix for CVE-2026-47178, a heap out-of-bounds write in the
    uncompressed tile decoder, the affected format combinations are now rejected
    with heif_error_Unsupported_feature: uncompressed images with 4:2:0 or 4:2:2
    chroma subsampling that are tiled, or that use row or pixel interleave.
    Upstream corrected the offending arithmetic, but only after a restructuring
    of the uncompressed decoder that is not present in the version shipped in
    the stable distribution. Images in these configurations will no longer
    decode.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in
    version 1.19.8-1+deb13u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your libheif packages.

    For the detailed security status of libheif please refer to
    its security tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/libheif
