Description

 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian LTS Advisory DLA-3934-1 [email protected] https://www.debian.org/lts/security/ Chris Lamb October 22, 2024 https://wiki.debian.org/LTS
 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Package : libheif Version : 1.11.0-1+deb11u1 CVE ID : CVE-2024-41311

 It was discovered that there was a potential out-of-bounds read vulnerability in libheif, a decoder and encoder for the HEIF and AVIF image formats.

 Insufficient checks in ImageOverlay::parse() could have been exploited by an overlay image with forged offsets which could, in turn, have led to undefined behaviour.

 For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version 1.11.0-1+deb11u1.

 We recommend that you upgrade your libheif packages.

 For the detailed security status of libheif please refer to its security tracker page at:
 https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/libheif

 Further information about Debian LTS security advisories, how to apply these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be found at: https://wiki.debian.org/LTS

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Debian security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade the heif-gdk-pixbuf packages.
