CVE-2026-28231

Estado: AnalizadaMedia (5.5)—

pillow_heif is a Python library for working with HEIF images and plugin for Pillow. Prior to version 1.3.0, an integer overflow in the encode path buffer validation of `_pillow_heif.c` allows an attacker to bypass bounds checks by providing large image dimensions, resulting in a heap out-of-bounds read. This can lead to information disclosure (server heap memory leaking into encoded images) or denial of service (process crash). No special configuration is required — this triggers under default settings. Version 1.3.0 fixes the issue.

Antes de la versión 1.3.0, un desbordamiento de entero en la validación del búfer de la ruta de codificación de _pillow_heif.c permite a un atacante eludir las comprobaciones de límites al proporcionar grandes dimensiones de imagen, lo que resulta en una lectura fuera de límites del heap. Esto puede conducir a la revelación de información (fuga de memoria del heap del servidor en las imágenes codificadas) o a la denegación de servicio (caída del proceso). No se requiere ninguna configuración especial; esto se activa con la configuración predeterminada. La versión 1.3.0 corrige el problema."
