AI-suggested

Upgrade to heifer-hevc-dec version 0.3.27 or later, where the vulnerability is fixed by rejecting invalid tile layouts during decoding. No other mitigation is required as the issue is fully resolved in this version.

Description

A vulnerability in the heifer-hevc-dec Rust crate allows a crafted HEVC stream to cause a panic during decoding by redefining tile layouts that do not match the active sequence parameter set (SPS). This leads to an out-of-bounds indexing panic, aborting the decoding thread or process. The issue is fixed in version 0.3.27 by rejecting invalid tile layouts at decode time.
