ETK-2026-706Zero's internal tracking ID, independent of the CVE number.
waiting for further signalsZero needs more public information before it can validate it.description
libheif versions before 1.23.6 can mishandle memory accounting while decoding certain compressed uncompressed-codec HEIF images. An attacker able to supply a crafted image may cause excessive memory consumption and repeated processing, potentially disrupting the decoding process. Exposure requires a build with WITH_UNCOMPRESSED_CODEC enabled and the relevant compression support configured.
mitigation
Upgrade libheif to version 1.23.6 or later. If an upgrade cannot be applied promptly, rebuild or configure libheif with WITH_UNCOMPRESSED_CODEC disabled to reduce exposure.
fixed in 1.23.6
outcome
No artifact: an exploit or check was attempted but could not be produced at this moment.
