CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe vulnerability in libheif affects versions 1.23.1 and earlier, allowing crafted grid, iovl, and iden reference graphs to exploit the decoding process, potentially leading to resource exhaustion through repeated decoding of the same base image. This could result in denial-of-service conditions, impacting applications that rely on this library for HEIF and AVIF file handling. Organizations using libheif should prioritize updating to version 1.23.2 or later to mitigate this high-severity risk.

Original NVD Description
libheif is a HEIF and AVIF file format decoder and encoder. In 1.23.1 and earlier, crafted grid, iovl, and iden reference graphs can repeatedly decode the same base image because processed_ids is copied per branch and ImageItem::decode_image() has no shared operation budget. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.23.2.
