The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - libheif is a HEIF and AVIF file format decoder and encoder. Prior to version 1.22.0, two bugs in libheif     chain to leak process heap memory as visible pixel values in decoded grid images. An attacker who uploads     a crafted AVIF/HEIC file to any server-side image processor (WordPress, Sharp/libvips, ImageMagick, etc.)     can recover heap data - including library function pointers sufficient to defeat ASLR, or any other secret
    - from the publicly-downloadable transcoded JPEG/PNG/WebP output. Local attack vectors are also possible.
    Version 1.22.0 fixes the issue. (CVE-2026-47247)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2026:2622-1 advisory.

     * ## Build / CI
     * requires C++20
     * oss-fuzz integration overhauled
     * fuzzers for tile API, generic API surface, and per-codec      encoders
    - update to 1.21.2:
     * build script for JS/WASM now supports building with JPEG2000 and      'ISO23001-17 Uncompressed' support.
     * image sequence SAI data now works when using the OpenH264 decoder      plugin
    - update to 1.21.1:
     * This patch release only fixes a build error with some GCC versions      because of a missing #include.
    - update to 1.21.0:
     * This release adds full support for reading and writing HEIF image      sequences. libheif will now encode HEIF image sequences with all      included codecs.
     * Since HEIF image sequences are very similar to MP4 videos, this new      version is also capable of decoding most MP4 videos (without audio,      of course).
     * heif-enc documentation for sequence encoding
     * API documentation for reading and writing sequences
     * Support for image sequences with alpha channels. For most codecs,      the alpha channel will be stored in a separate, auxiliary,      monochrome track. For ISO/IEC 23001-17 (uncompressed) streams, the      alpha channel is stored in the main video track.
     * Support for sequence track edit lists to define the number of      sequence repetitions (without actually repeating the video data).
     * New encoder plugin using x264 to write H.264-compressed video      streams and images.
     * The FFmpeg decoder plugin will now decode both H.265 and H.264.
     * Support for HEIF text items and language properties.
     * CVEs fixed: CVE-2025-68431
    - update to 1.20.2:
     - When opening tiled images, do not check against maximum image      size immediately to allow for tile-based decoding of very large      images.
     - Several smaller fixes in writing image sequences
     - CMake option to disable building of heif-view, which pulls in      dependency on SDL
     - Fixes reading/writing of GIMI content IDs
     - Some build fixes
    - Remove conditionals for openh264, we can build against noopenh264
    - update to 1.20.1:
     - Fixes a bug in decoder plugin loading.
    - Changes from 1.20.0:
     - Sequences:
     - API for reading and writing image sequences. You can read and      write sequences for all codecs (not just H.265 / AV1, but      also JPEG-2000, ISO-23001-17 uncompressed, ...). Currently      only intra-coded sequences are supported.
     - API for reading and writing metadata sequences. The metadata      tracks can contain any raw timed data.
     - Support for SAI (sample auxiliary information). Timed samples      (from image sequences or metadata) can have auxiliary data      attached. Currently we support TAI timestamps and GIMI      content description IDs.
     - Support for track references.
     - The API for sequences is described here:
     https://github.com/strukturag/libheif/wiki/Reading-and-Writing-Sequences
     - New command line tool heif-view to show HEIF sequences      (requires libSDL).
     - Other new features:
     - You can specify a security limit for the maximum total memory      libheif may use for decoding. This is easier to handle than      specifying limits on the maximum image size or single memory      allocations.
     - Support for TAI timestamps (in images and sequences) has been      promoted from experimental to stable.
     - FFMPEG plugin now supports HDR decoding
     - Header files are now split into individual headers by topic.
     However, it should still be backwards compatible with heif.h      being a catch-all covering the old content. For new      functionality (sequences, TAI), you will need to include the      specific headers.
     - All struct names of the API are now also typedefs.
    - add build requires for brotli which it looks for since 1.18
    - prepare building heif-view
    - update to 1.19.8:
     * Set essential flag for transformative properties as required by      MIAF. This fixes the display of AVIF images with transformations      encoded by libheif in Chrome, which checks whether this flag is      set. This mainly affected images encoded by ImageMagick.
     * If the environment variable LIBHEIF_SECURITY_LIMITS is set to OFF,      libheif will not check any security limits. This can be used if a      user works with large images and the application software does not      allow to adjust the libheif security limits.
     * Resolved processing 16-bit JPEG-2000
    - update to 1.19.7:
     * Fixes a build error with SVT-AV1 encoder plugin when using reduced      symbol visibility
    - update to 1.19.6:
     * C++ and Go wrapper licenses have been changed to MIT
     * supports SVT-AV1 v3.0.0 encoder
     * support emscripten builds for ES6 modules
    - Use correct license (these were changed in 2018)
    - Ensure Name: is conditionalized for the multibuild flavors to not      overwrite the .src.rpm (which is a processed .spec) and to allow      OBS to properly distinguish them flavors.

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2026-1971 advisory.

    Heap Information Disclosure via Grid Image Gap + Uninitialized Pixel Plane Allocation (CVE-2026-47247)

    libheif crashes in the public C API heif_image_handle_get_image_tiling() when a malformed uncompressed     HEIF image item has an associated uncC property but no associated ispe property. In debug builds this     trips the ispe && uncC assertion in ImageItem_uncompressed::get_heif_image_tiling(). In a release/NDEBUG     ASan build, the same file causes a null pointer read at address 0xa8. (CVE-2026-47709)

    Integer overflow in inline mask size calculation causes undersized buffer allocation (CVE-2026-47714)

    heap OOB read in ImageItem_Grid::decode_grid_tile via irot-induced tile-coordinate underflow     (CVE-2026-48029)

    Package        : libheif     CVE ID         : CVE-2025-68431 CVE-2026-32740 CVE-2026-32741 CVE-2026-32882                      CVE-2026-47178 CVE-2026-47247 CVE-2026-47709 CVE-2026-47714                      CVE-2026-48029 CVE-2026-49271 CVE-2026-62289 CVE-2026-62292     Debian Bug     :

    Multiple security issues were discovered in libheif, an ISO/IEC 23008-12     HEIF and AVIF image file format decoder and encoder, which may result in     denial of service, the disclosure of sensitive memory contents or,     potentially, the execution of arbitrary code if a malformed image file is     processed.

    Note that in the fix for CVE-2026-47178, a heap out-of-bounds write in the     uncompressed tile decoder, the affected format combinations are now rejected     with heif_error_Unsupported_feature: uncompressed images with 4:2:0 or 4:2:2     chroma subsampling that are tiled, or that use row or pixel interleave.
    Upstream corrected the offending arithmetic, but only after a restructuring     of the uncompressed decoder that is not present in the version shipped in     the stable distribution. Images in these configurations will no longer     decode.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in     version 1.19.8-1+deb13u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your libheif packages.
