description
libheif before 1.23.2 can consume unbounded memory while opening crafted HEIF or AVIF files containing compressed metadata or image data. An unauthenticated attacker who can supply a file for processing may cause the affected application to terminate through memory exhaustion.
mitigation
Upgrade libheif to version 1.23.2 or later. Until upgraded, do not process untrusted HEIF or AVIF files and enforce resource limits on services that handle them.
fixed in 1.23.2
outcome
No artifact: an exploit or check was attempted but could not be produced at this moment.
