CVE-2026-47254

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

libheif is a HEIF and AVIF file format decoder and encoder. Prior to version 1.22.0, `Track::init_sample_timing_table()` in `libheif/sequences/track.cc` stores an out-of-bounds chunk index (`m_chunks.size()`) into `m_presentation_timeline` when the number of chunks defined in the `stco` box is less than the number of samples in `stsz`. A subsequent call to `heif_track_get_next_raw_sequence_sample()` reads `m_chunks[chunk_idx]` with that OOB index, causing a heap-buffer-overflow. Version 1.22.0 fixes the issue.

Antes de la versión 1.22.0, ’Track::init_sample_timing_table()’ en ’libheif/sequences/track.cc’ almacena un índice de fragmento fuera de límites (’m_chunks.size()’) en ’m_presentation_timeline’ cuando el número de fragmentos definido en la caja ’stco’ es menor que el número de muestras en ’stsz’. Una llamada posterior a ’heif_track_get_next_raw_sequence_sample()’ lee ’m_chunks[chunk_idx]’ con ese índice OOB, causando un desbordamiento de búfer de pila. La versión 1.22.0 corrige el problema."
