{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2026-84446","details":"libheif is a HEIF and AVIF file format decoder and encoder. Prior to 1.23.2, crafted HEIF sequence timing and edit-list data can make Track::init_sample_timing_table() compute a logical m_num_output_samples value that exceeds the uint32_t counters used by Track_Visual::decode_next_image_sample() and Track::get_next_sample_raw_data(). The resulting comparison can never reach the oversized output count, causing non-terminating decode or raw-sample loops and bypassing max_sequence_frames. The same sequence path repeatedly calls Box_stts::get_sample_duration() and allocates Chunk::m_sample_ranges and Track::m_presentation_timeline outside MemoryHandle accounting, allowing severe CPU and memory exhaustion from a small file. This issue is fixed in version 1.23.2.","modified":"2026-09-22T08:47:30.863268120Z","published":"2026-09-18T16:17:12.513Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-84446"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2026-84446"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"libheif","ecosystem":"Debian:12","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/libheif?arch=source&distro=bookworm"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.15.1-1","1.15.1-1+deb12u1","1.16.2-1","1.16.2-2","1.16.2-3","1.17.0-1","1.17.1-1","1.17.4-1","1.17.6-1","1.17.6-2","1.17.6-3","1.17.6-4","1.18.1-1","1.18.1-2","1.18.2-1","1.18.2-2","1.19.1-1","1.19.1-1~bpo12+1","1.19.1-1~bpo12+2","1.19.3-1","1.19.3-1~bpo12+1","1.19.5-1","1.19.7-1","1.19.7-1~bpo12+1","1.19.8-1","1.20.1-1","1.20.2-1","1.20.2-2","1.21.2-1","1.21.2-2","1.21.2-3","1.21.2-4","1.23.1-1","1.23.2-1","1.23.3-1","1.23.4-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-84446.json"}},{"package":{"name":"libheif","ecosystem":"Debian:13","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/libheif?arch=source&distro=trixie"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.19.8-1","1.19.8-1+deb13u1","1.20.1-1","1.20.2-1","1.20.2-2","1.21.2-1","1.21.2-2","1.21.2-3","1.21.2-4","1.23.1-1","1.23.2-1","1.23.3-1","1.23.4-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-84446.json"}},{"package":{"name":"libheif","ecosystem":"Debian:14","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/libheif?arch=source&distro=forky"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.23.2-1"}]}],"versions":["1.19.8-1","1.20.1-1","1.20.2-1","1.20.2-2","1.21.2-1","1.21.2-2","1.21.2-3","1.21.2-4","1.23.1-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-84446.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"}]}
