    CVE ID         : CVE-2026-84384 CVE-2026-84444 CVE-2026-84446 CVE-2026-84447
                     CVE-2026-84448 CVE-2026-84450 CVE-2026-84451

    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.

    Besides the CVEs listed above, this update also fixes a number of issues
    tracked upstream as GHSA-x8r2-mggj-j6wr, GHSA-w7mc-p8jc-p853,
    GHSA-9rj8-5mp5-26c9, GHSA-4jqm-2x34-6f6r, GHSA-vg7w-rp49-4fc2,
    GHSA-5w8x-856j-7x7c, GHSA-fqpw-fj22-78w4, GHSA-prgh-72vc-3xmc,
    GHSA-xrp2-63fq-jm8q, GHSA-4rv4-953r-p24q and GHSA-rhgw-q5g8-xjh2, and had
    no CVE assigned when this advisory was published.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in
    version 1.23.4-1~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
