Vulnerability in libde265 (UBUNTU-CVE-2026-45382)
Summary
Vulnerability in libde265 (UBUNTU-CVE-2026-45382). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Exploitable via set_derived_values. Mitigation: upgrade to 1.0.2-2ubuntu0.16.04.1~esm6 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
libde265 is an open source implementation of the h.265 video codec. Prior to version 1.0.19, decoder_context::decode_slice_unit_tiles (libde265/decctx.cc:920) reads pps.CtbAddrRStoTS[ctbAddrRS] at line 966 where ctbAddrRS = ctbY * ctbsWidth + ctbX is computed from PPS-supplied colBd[]/rowBd[] arrays without validating the result against CtbAddrRStoTS.size() == sps->PicSizeInCtbsY. A malformed PPS that passes set_derived_values but encodes geometry inconsistent with the SPS produces a ctbAddrRS past the allocation, causing a 4-byte heap-buffer-overflow READ. Version 1.0.19 fixes the issue.
