Exploitation
No confirmed in-the-wild exploitation; assess based on exposure
Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.

libheif 是一个 HEIF 和 AVIF 文件格式的解码器和编码器。 在 1.23.2 版本之前，当启用 时， 函数会接受一个独立构建的瓦片（tile），其分量平面（component-plane）的维度与原型图像所建立的瓦片几何结构不匹配。 会将该瓦片直接传递给 ，而后者缺乏 的大小检查机制，并且根据配置的瓦片几何结构来设定输出大小，同时拷贝瓦片实际的分量平面维度。 因此，一个过大的分量平面可能导致 在堆输出缓冲区之外拷贝攻击者可控的数据，从而引发潜在的缓冲区溢出漏洞。 此问题已在 1.23.2 版本中修复

Vulnerability Title
libheif uncompressed tiled image encoding allows out-of-bounds write
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
libheif is a HEIF and AVIF file format decoder and encoder. Prior to 1.23.2, when WITH_UNCOMPRESSED_CODEC is enabled, heif_context_add_image_tile() accepts an independently constructed tile whose component-plane dimensions do not match the tile geometry established by the prototype image. ImageItem_uncompressed::add_image_tile() passes that tile directly to unc_encoder::encode_tile(), which lacked the check_component_sizes() gate and sizes its output from the configured tile geometry while copying the tile's actual component-plane dimensions. An oversized component plane can therefore make unc_encoder_component_interleave::encode_tile() copy attacker-controlled data beyond the heap output buffer. This issue is fixed in version 1.23.2.
