Description
libheif is a HEIF and AVIF file format decoder and encoder. From 1.19.0 until 1.23.3, the no-icef full-item branch of unc_decoder::get_compressed_image_data_uncompressed() in libheif/codecs/uncompressed/unc_decoder.cc retains an addition-based range check that can wrap when a crafted uncompressed tile grid produces a large range_start_offset and range_size. The overflow makes the bounds comparison pass and allows heif_image_handle_decode_image_tile() to call memcpy() with an invalid source pointer and a very large length when decoding a valid high-index advertised tile. This incomplete remediation of CVE-2026-62292 can reliably crash tile-processing applications, while whole-image decoding is not claimed to reach the demonstrated path. This issue is fixed in version 1.23.3.
