Floating point exception in function Fraction in libheif 1.4.0, allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service or possibly other unspecified impacts.

libheif 1.4.0 has a use-after-free in heif::HeifContext::Image::setalphachannel in heifcontext.h because heifcontext.cc mishandles references to non-existing alpha images.

An issue was discovered in heif::Boxiref::getreferences in libheif 1.4.0, allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service or possibly other unspecified impact due to an invalid memory read.

In Libheif 1.17.6, insufficient checks in ImageOverlay::parse() decoding a heif file containing an overlay image with forged offsets can lead to an out-of-bounds read and write.

Buffer overflow vulnerability in function convertcolorspace in heifcolorconversion.cc in libheif v1.6.2, allows attackers to cause a denial of service and disclose sensitive information, via a crafted HEIF file.

libheif <= 1.17.6 contains a memory leak in the function JpegEncoder::Encode. This flaw allows an attacker to cause a denial of service attack.

libheif before 1.19.6 has a NULL pointer dereference in ImageItemiden in image-items/iden.cc.

libheif before 1.19.6 has a NULL pointer dereference in ImageItemGrid::getdecoder in image-items/grid.cc because a grid image can reference a nonexistent image item.

libheif is an HEIF and AVIF file format decoder and encoder. Prior to version 1.21.0, a crafted HEIF that exercises the overlay image item path triggers a heap buffer over-read in HeifPixelImage::overlay(). The function computes a negative row length (likely from an unclipped overlay rectangle or invalid offsets), which then underflows when converted to sizet and is passed to memcpy, causing a very large read past the end of the source plane and a crash. Version 1.21.0 contains a patch. As a workaround, avoid decoding images using iovl overlay boxes.

libheif is a HEIF and AVIF file format decoder and encoder. Versions 1.21.2 and below contain a heap buffer overflow in MaskImageCodec::decodemaskimage(). When decoding a HEIF file containing a mask image (mski), the function copies the full iloc extent data into a pixel buffer using memcpy(dst, data.data(), data.size()). The copy length data.size() is determined by the iloc extent in the file (attacker-controlled), while the destination buffer is sized based on the declared image dimensions. Because no upper-bound check exists on the data length, a crafted file whose iloc extent exceeds the pixel buffer allocation overflows the heap. The vulnerable single-memcpy branch is reached when the mskC property specifies bitsperpixel = 8 and the ispe property declares an even width ≥ 64 (so that stride == width), with no changes to default security limits or external codec plugins required. This issue has been fixed in version 1.22.0.

A Segmentation fault caused by a floating point exception exists in libheif 1.15.1 using crafted heif images via the heif::Fraction::round() function in box.cc, which causes a denial of service.

Buffer Overflow vulnerability in libheif 1.19.7 allows a local attacker to execute arbitrary code via the SAO (Sample Adaptive Offset) processing of libde265.

A vulnerability was determined in strukturag libheif up to 1.21.2. This affects the function vvdecpushdata2 of the file libheif/plugins/decodervvdec.cc of the component HEIF File Parser. Executing a manipulation of the argument size can lead to out-of-bounds read. The attack needs to be launched locally. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized. This patch is called b97c8b5f198b27f375127cd597a35f2113544d03. It is advisable to implement a patch to correct this issue.
