CVE-2026-47254

libheif Has Heap Buffer Overflow in `Track::get_next_sample_raw_data()` -- OOB Chunk Vector Access

Published Jul 21, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 6.1 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
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.
