    It was discovered that there were two issues in libheif, a decoder     and encoder for the HEIF and AVIF image formats that could have been     exploited by specially-crafted image files.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version     1.11.0-1+deb11u2.

    We recommend that you upgrade your libheif packages.
