USN-8526-1: libheif vulnerabilities

Xianrui Dong discovered that libheif had an out-of-bounds read in its HEIF sequence track parser. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or obtain sensitive information. This issue only affected Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. CVE-2026-47254 Junyi Liu discovered that libheif had...

CVE-2026-41069

A flaw was found in libheif, a HEIF High Efficiency Image File Format and AVIF file format decoder and encoder. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by providing a specially crafted, malformed HEIF sequence file. This malformed file can trigger an out-of-bounds read during the core...

JLSEC-2026-571

libheif is a HEIF and AVIF file format decoder and encoder. In versions 1.21.2 and below, a crafted 800-byte HEIF sequence file causes an infinite loop in Boxstts::getsampleduration, consuming 100% CPU indefinitely with zero progress, leading to DoS. The loop has no iteration limit or timeout and...

JLSEC-2026-570

libheif is a HEIF and AVIF file format decoder and encoder. In versions 1.21.2 and below, a crafted 792-byte HEIF sequence file with samplesperchunk=0 in the stsc box causes an unsigned integer underflow in the Chunk constructor mlastsample = 0 + 0 - 1 = UINT32MAX, mapping all samples to an empty...

CVE-2026-41069

libheif is a HEIF and AVIF file format decoder and encoder. In versions 1.21.2 and prior, a malformed HEIF sequence file can trigger an out-of-bounds read in core sequence parsing logic, causing DoS. A malformed file can have stco.entrycount == 0 creating no chunks while still passing validation...

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions libheif versions prior to 1.21.3 Description An out-of-bounds read can occur in the core sequence parsing logic when processing a malformed HEIF sequence file, leading to a Denial of Service DoS. This happens when a file has stco.entry count s...
