pillow-heif: Integer Overflow in Encode Path Buffer Validation Leads to Heap Out-of-Bounds Read

An integer overflow in the encode path buffer validation of _pillow_heif.c allows an attacker to bypass bounds checks by providing large image dimensions, resulting in a heap out-of-bounds read. This can lead to information disclosure (server heap memory leaking into encoded images) or denial of service (process crash). No special configuration is required — this triggers under default settings.
