Echo: libheif: security update to 1.19.8-1+e5

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 457297

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - libheif is a HEIF and AVIF file format decoder and encoder. Prior to version 1.22.1, the uncompressed HEIF
 decoder validates explicit icef compressed-unit offsets using unit_offset + unit_size. Because the
 addition can wrap, a crafted HEIF file can pass the range check and then construct a vector from iterators
 outside the compressed item buffer, producing an out-of-bounds heap read and crash. Version 1.22.1 patches
 the issue. (CVE-2026-49271)

Solution

Update the libheif library and its related packages to version 1.19.8-1+e5 or later.
