Package : libheif CVE ID : CVE-2023-29659 CVE-2023-49462 CVE-2024-41311

Multiple security issues were found in libheif, a library to parse HEIF and AVIF files, which could result in denial of service or potentially the execution of arbitrary code.

For the stable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed in version 1.15.1-1+deb12u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your libheif packages.
