Echo: libheif: security update to 1.19.8-1

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 465165

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. In versions 1.21.2 and prior, a malformed HEIF
 sequence file can trigger an out-of-bounds read in core sequence parsing logic, causing DoS. A malformed
 file can have stco.entry_count == 0 (creating no chunks) while still passing validation because
 saio.entry_count == 0 matches, but with saiz.sample_count > 0 the SampleAuxInfoReader constructor still
 enters its loop. This leads to an out-of-bounds dereference on the empty chunks[0] in chunked mode.
 (CVE-2026-41069)

Solution

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