NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libde265 package and not the libde265 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.

libde265 is an open source implementation of the h.265 video codec. Versions prior to 1.1.1 use signed 32-bit arithmetic to calculate pixel offsets, allowing a crafted HEVC stream with large image dimensions to trigger an integer overflow and cause out-of-bounds heap reads or writes, potentially disclosing data, corrupting memory, or crashing the decoder. Version 1.1.1 contains a patch.
