BIT-pillow-2021-27921 PUBLISHED CVSS 7.5 HIGH

Record from OSV · Published March 6, 2024

Pillow before 8.1.2 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) because the reported size of a contained image is not properly checked for a BLP container, and thus an attempted memory allocation can be very large.

Fixed versions

Upgrade to a fixed version or later. Language registries are listed first, then Linux distributions, then vendor products.
