description
libheif before 1.23.2 can consume excessive CPU or memory or fail to finish processing a specially crafted HEIF sequence. An attacker must cause an application using the affected sequence-processing paths to open untrusted HEIF content.
mitigation
Upgrade libheif to version 1.23.2 or later. Until upgraded, restrict processing of untrusted HEIF sequence files, particularly where sequence or raw-sample APIs are enabled.
fixed in 1.23.2
outcome
No artifact: an exploit or check was attempted but could not be produced at this moment.
