# CVE-2026-84384: libheif: libheif is a HEIF and AVIF file format decoder and encoder CVE-2026-84384 is fixed in 27 products on 1 platform, first by heif-gdk-pixbuf 1.21.2-3ubuntu0.6, released September 18, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: High. - Web page: https://patchblox.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-84384 - Priority: High - CVSS: 7.5 (high) - EPSS: 0.0052 - CISA KEV: not listed - Exploited (vendor report): no - Publicly disclosed: no - Published: Sep 18, 2026 ## Description libheif is a HEIF and AVIF file format decoder and encoder. From 1.19.0 until 1.23.2, crafted HEIF or AVIF mime metadata and unci image data can cause decompress_brotli() and do_inflate() to grow accumulated output without an effective size limit or MemoryHandle accounting. The brotli path has no output bound, while the zlib path checks only a small temporary buffer in a branch that valid streams do not reach, and overlapping icef units can decompress the same payload repeatedly. HeifContext::interpret_heif_file_images() processes multiple compressed metadata items during file opening, allowing a small file to consume unbounded memory and terminate the process. This issue is fixed in version 1.23.2. ## Where it's fixed | Platform | Product | Fixed in | Fix | Released | |---|---|---|---|---| | Linux | heif-gdk-pixbuf Ubuntu 24.04.5 LTS (noble) |
