[GHSA-g89c-p67h-r497: Heap buffer overflow in scale_nearest_neighbor() via duplicate Alpha planes from nested iden/auxl items]

AnalysisAI

Heap buffer overflow in libavif's scale_nearest_neighbor() function can be triggered by a crafted AVIF image containing nested iden/auxl items that introduce duplicate Alpha planes. An attacker who delivers a malicious AVIF file to an application or service that decodes it - browsers, image editors, server-side media pipelines - can cause heap memory corruption, leading to denial of service or potentially arbitrary code execution. …
