Summary

python-pillow security update

Details

Pillow is the friendly PIL fork by Alex Clark and Contributors. PIL is the Python Imaging \ Library by Fredrik Lundh and Contributors. As of 2019, Pillow development is supported by Tidelift. %package -n python3-pillow Summary: Python 3 image processing library Provides: python3-imaging = -

Security Fix(es):

An issue was discovered in Pillow before 10.0.0. It is a Denial of Service that uncontrollably allocates memory to process a given task, potentially causing a service to crash by having it run out of memory. This occurs for truetype in ImageFont when textlength in an ImageDraw instance operates on a long text argument.(CVE-2023-44271)

Severity

7.5 (High)

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
