Subject: [Buildroot] [2025.02.x, PATCH 2/3] package/libheif: patch CVE-2025-68431
Date: Mon, 16 Mar 2026 12:37:15 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260316113716.208738-2-thomas.perale@mind.be> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260316113716.208738-1-thomas.perale@mind.be>
- CVE-2025-68431:
libheif is an HEIF and AVIF file format decoder and encoder. Prior to
version 1.21.0, a crafted HEIF that exercises the overlay image item
path triggers a heap buffer over-read in `HeifPixelImage::overlay()`.
The function computes a negative row length (likely from an unclipped
overlay rectangle or invalid offsets), which then underflows when
converted to `size_t` and is passed to `memcpy`, causing a very large
read past the end of the source plane and a crash. Version 1.21.0
contains a patch. As a workaround, avoid decoding images using `iovl`
overlay boxes.
