> USN-8573-1: libde265 vulnerabilities

It was discovered that libde265 did not properly manage memory under certain circumstances. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause libde265 to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. (CVE-2023-51792) It was discovered that libde265 did not properly handle certain malformed media files, leading to a heap buffer overflow. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause libde265 to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2024-38949, CVE-2024-38950) It was discovered that libde265 did not properly handle certain malformed input, leading to a segmentation fault. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause libde265 to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2025-61147) It was discovered that libde265 did not properly handle a malformed H.265 PPS NAL unit, leading to a segmentation fault. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause libde265 to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2026-33164) It was discovered that libde265 did not properly handle certain crafted HEVC bitstreams, leading to an out-of-bounds write. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause libde265 to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2026-33165) Valentin Mercier discovered that libde265 did not properly validate tile geometry when handling crafted media files, leading to an out-of-bounds read. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause libde265 to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2026-45382) It was discovered that libde265 did not properly validate certain values when decoding crafted media files, leading to an out-of-bounds read. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause libde265 to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2026-45383) Ying Dong discovered that libde265 did not properly validate reference picture set entries when handling a crafted H.265 bitstream, leading to an out-of-bounds write. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause libde265 to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2026-49295) Ying Dong discovered that libde265 did not properly manage memory when handling a crafted sequence of H.265 NAL units, leading to excessive memory consumption. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause libde265 to use excessive resources, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2026-49337) Ying Dong discovered that libde265 did not properly handle certain crafted H.265 bitstreams with large dimensions, leading to a heap buffer overflow. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause libde265 to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2026-49346) It was discovered that libde265 did not properly handle certain crafted HEVC bitstreams with large dimensions, leading to an out-of-bounds read and write. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause libde265 to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2026-54240) It was discovered that libde265 did not properly handle certain crafted HEVC bitstreams with large dimensions, leading to a heap buffer overflow. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause libde265 to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2026-54241)
