Package : libheif
Multiple security issues were discovered in libheif, a library for reading
and writing HEIF and AVIF images. Processing specially crafted images
could result in denial of service through excessive resource consumption
or crashes, or disclosure of process memory. A use-after-free and
double-free affecting timestamp handling during image encoding, including
transcoding of crafted images, is also addressed.
For the stable distribution (trixie), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.23.6-2~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
