# CVE-2026-62289: libheif: libheif is a HEIF and AVIF file format decoder and encoder CVE-2026-62289 is fixed in 27 products on 1 platform, first by DEBIAN-CVE-2026-62289, released August 8, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine. - Web page: https://patchblox.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-62289 - Priority: Routine - CVSS: 4.3 (medium) - EPSS: 0.0030 - CISA KEV: not listed - Exploited (vendor report): no - Publicly disclosed: no - Published: Aug 12, 2026 ## Description libheif is a HEIF and AVIF file format decoder and encoder. In 1.23.0 and earlier, a crafted HEIF or AVIF file containing a clean aperture box can reduce an image dimension to zero and crash or corrupt tiling results when heif_image_handle_get_image_tiling(handle, 1, &tiling) is called. ImageItem::get_heif_image_tiling() returns already transformed dimensions, and process_image_transformations_on_tiling() applies the clean aperture transformation again. The second application passes zero to Box_clap::left_rounded(0), where image_width minus one underflows and constructs Fraction(0xFFFFFFFF, 2). Debug builds reach an assertion and abort, while release builds can return a corrupt crop and zero-width tiling result. The affected implementation spans libheif/image-items/image_item.cc, libheif/context.cc, and libheif/box.cc. This issue is fixed in version 1.23.1. ## Where it's fixed | Platform | Product | Fixed in | Fix | Released | |---|---|---|---|---| | Linux | heif-gdk-pixbuf Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (focal) |
