Summary
pillow vulnerabilities
Details
It was discovered that Pillow incorrectly handled certain compressed text chunks in PNG images. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Pillow to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2014-9601)
Cris Neckar discovered that Pillow incorrectly handled certain malformed images. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause Pillow to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2016-9189)
Cris Neckar discovered that Pillow incorrectly handled certain malformed images. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause Pillow to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-9190)

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.
