Last modified
CVE-2025-62821 is a critical-severity vulnerability rated 9.1/10 on the CVSS scale. Microsoft HEIF Image Extensions 1.2.22.0 has an out-of-bounds read because CHEIFItemInfoEntry_GetDataSize can return success while leaving the reported data size as 0. This causes a caller to make a 1-byte allocation. EPSS estimates a 0.45% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
Description
Microsoft HEIF Image Extensions 1.2.22.0 has an out-of-bounds read because CHEIFItemInfoEntry_GetDataSize can return success while leaving the reported data size as 0. This causes a caller to make a 1-byte allocation. Later, CopyPixels computes copy_size = stride * abs(roi_height) but does not check the source buffer length before a memmove call.
