description

strukturag libheif before 1.23.2 can repeatedly decode a referenced base image when processing crafted HEIF or AVIF derived-image reference graphs. An unauthenticated attacker who can supply a file for decoding can consume excessive CPU resources; builds with experimental tiled-image support may also be exposed to excessive memory allocation.

mitigation

Upgrade strukturag libheif to version 1.23.2 or later. Until the upgrade is deployed, restrict decoding of untrusted HEIF/AVIF files and disable experimental tiled-image support where it is enabled.

fixed in 1.23.2
