libheif is a HEIF and AVIF file format decoder and encoder. Versions prior to 1.22.0 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. Version 1.22.0 fixes the issue.

“—” beside the score: it is equal to NVD's CVSS score.
This medium-severity CVE scores 5.5 under NVD CVSS v3. EPSS exploit probability: 0.2% (7th percentile of EPSS-scored CVEs). No GitHub Security Advisory CVSS is on record for this CVE.

Exploitation public PoC (CISA Vulnrichment) · Automatable no (CISA Vulnrichment) · Technical impact partial (CISA Vulnrichment). All three are CISA's SSVC values (Vulnrichment). EchelonGraph applied CISA's decision table to them; CISA publishes SSVC inputs and the table, not a decision for each CVE. Mission impact is CISA's Mission & Well-being decision point, and only you can judge it. CISA's table makes it high when Mission Prevalence is Essential — the vulnerable component "directly provides capabilities that constitute at least one MEF for at least one entity" (MEF: mission essential function) — or when Public Well-Being Impact is Irreversible: "multiple fatalities are likely", the cyber-physical system "is likely lost or destroyed", "extreme or serious externalities" are imposed on other parties, or social systems such as elections or the financial grid "are destabilized and potentially collapse".

Data Freshness Timeline
(refreshed 11× in last 7d / 43× in last 30d)
Each row is a time one of our pipelines fetched, updated or re-scored this CVE. For example, "NVD update" means NVD published or revised its analysis for this CVE; "MITRE cvelistV5" means we ingested or refreshed it from the CNA feed. An arrow marks a change the record states ("CVSS v3 → 9.1"); EPSS and GHSA rows show the values recorded at that time, not what changed (EPSS values are rounded; hover one for the exact figures). Most recent first.
Showing the most recent 100 of 170 refreshes on record for this CVE.
A repeat, a row identical to one the same pipeline wrote less than 10 seconds earlier, is not a separate refresh and is not counted. None are among the latest 100 rows. The 70 oldest rows on record are not shown and were not checked, so the counts can still include repeats.
