The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 4 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TSSA-2024:0637 advisory.

    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 4 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2024-41311:
    In Libheif 1.17.6, insufficient checks in ImageOverlay::parse() decoding a heif file containing an overlay     image with forged offsets can lead to an out-of-bounds read and write.

    CVE-2024-25269:
    libheif <= 1.17.6 contains a memory leak in the function JpegEncoder::Encode. This flaw allows an attacker     to cause a denial of service attack.

    Multiple security issues were found in libheif, a library to parse HEIF     and AVIF files, which could result in denial of service or potentially     the execution of arbitrary code.

    For the stable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed in     version 1.15.1-1+deb12u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your libheif packages.
