According to its self-reported version, libheif prior to 1.17.6 contains a memory leak in the function JpegEncoder::Encode. This flaw allows an attacker to cause a denial of service attack.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
